Total net equity and liabilities

     13,630,735         13,551,186   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

As of March 31, 2013, total assets increased by 80% compared to December 31, 2012, equivalent to 0.59% of variation. This deviation is mainly attributable to an increase in the balance of Property, plant and equipment, biological assets and inventories, offset by a decrease in non-financial assets (in 2012 compensation was received for fire insurance in Nueva Aldea).

Moreover, liabilities increased US$ 3 million mainly attributable to an increase in Non-Financial Liabilities by increasing the provision of minimum dividend (interim dividend recognition for the period 2013 and definitive year 2012), offset by a net decrease in financial liabilities.

The main financial and operating indicators relating to balance are as follows:

 

Liquidity ratios

   03-31-2013      12-31-2012  

Current Liquidity (current assets / current liabilities)

     1.81         1.89   

Acid ratio (( current assets-inventories, biological assets) /
Current liabilities)

     1.07         1.14   

 

Debt indicators

   03-31-2013      12-31-2012  

Debt to equity ratio (total liabilities / equity)

     0.94         0.95   

Short-term debt to total debt (current liabilities / total liabilities)

     0.23         0.22   

Long-term debt to total debt (non-current liabilities / total liabilities)

     0.77         0.78   

 

     03-31-2013      03-31-2012  

Financial expenses coverage ratio (earnings before Taxes + interest expense / interest expense)

     2.95         2.06

The ratio of financial expenses covered presents an increase of 2.06 to 2.95. This drop is mainly attributable to greater result of the period 2013, compared to the same period of 2012.

 

b) Statements of income

Profit before Income Tax

Profit before Income Tax registered a profit of US$ 109 million compared to a profit of US$ 61 million in the same period of the previous year, positive variation of US$ 48 million. The effect is explained by the factors described in the following table:

3. MARKET SITUATION

Pulp Division

Pulp sales reached US$ 500.8 million (including energy sales) for the first quarter of 2013, a decrease of 3.8% compared to the previous quarter. This decrease was mainly due to lower sales volume of 6.1% and higher average prices of 2.7%.

When compared with the same period of 2012, pulp sales increased 5.5%, mainly due to higher average prices of 0.4%, higher sales volume of 0.9% and higher energy sales.

Since the beginning of this first quarter of the year, we have seen an increase in prices of long fiber and short fiber pulp in all markets. Such increases have been driven by Asian and American markets. Europe has followed the trend to a lesser extent and with some difficulty given the demand for end-products in the European market.

The inventory levels that had been stable and had experienced a decrease in December 2012, now increased. The most important increase was in short fiber, with inventory levels 5 days higher than December and first quarter 2012. It is important to mention that in general inventory levels decrease during December every year, so the increase during the first quarter is normal.

Europe continues with less consumption of pulp. In March of this year, pulp consumption dropped again with respect to March 2012 by 1.4%. Nonetheless, producers have anticipated such decrease in consumption and shipments decreased hence regulating inventory levels which dropped 3.4% in March respect to March 2012. With this situation prices also have slightly increased, approximately 3% in long fiber and 2% in short fiber. However, the situation in Europe in general continues difficult and the trend of integrated paper producers releasing pulp to the spot market continues and affects the pulp market, especially the long fiber market. At the same time, the higher supply of long fiber is competing with short fiber, replacing it if the technical and economic feasibility allows, and in the short term limiting as well the price of short fiber pulp.

With the new Chinese government there is more optimism with respect to incentives to increase internal consumption in China, but so far this has not meant strong demand in the first quarter. On the contrary, pulp imports decreased 13.2% in long fiber and 13.5% in short fiber during the first months of the year. As opposed to this trend, prices have increased more than in other geographies. In long fiber the price increase during the first quarter was 5% and in short fiber approximately 8%. These price increases were important if we take into consideration that the first quarter of the year is normally stable and not necessarily with strong demand moreover considering the Chinese New Year.

Other markets such as Middle East and Latin America continued with a stable but strong demand. Prices have also been increasing following global trends and especially Middle East where there was fewer pulp surplus supply, except for some long fiber European producers and some short fiber supply coming from Brazil at the beginning of the quarter.

The fluff market continued stable at low levels during all the quarter but with optimism towards the second quarter due to higher demand of this pulp grade in North America, a very important market and producer.

Production during the first quarter of the year was in line with planned levels, meeting production and sales targets (closed deals), however, invoicing levels did not reach target levels due to the strike at ports that affected most of Chile and in particular ports from the Eighth Region, which are the main ports from where we ship our pulp. We expect to recover the sales level during the second quarter.

Sawn Timber Division

Our Sawn Timber division had total sales of US$ 186.8 million for the first quarter of 2013, representing a 10.3% decrease compared to the previous quarter. During this quarter our change in the product sales mix set our average sales price 11.3% lower than the previous quarter, however, volume sales increased 0.6%.

When compared with the same period of 2012, sawn timber and remanufactured wood products sales decreased 1.1%, mainly due to a product sales mix that resulted in a lower average price of 6.3%, partially offset by higher sales volume of 0.3% and by new energy sales (Viñales Co-generation Plant) that started at the end of the second quarter of 2012.

The real estate and construction markets in the United States continued with positive growth during the first quarter of 2013. The Housing Starts Index reached 1.036.000 units per year during March which is a 46.7% increase as compared to March 2012. Current construction levels continue to be low if compared to the historical 10-year average. On average, during the first quarter of 2013 the sales price of moldings in the United States increased when compared to the last quarter of 2012.

During the first quarter of this year the solid wood market has shown a recovery in volumes and prices. Sales orders have increased and there is an upward pressure in prices of wood in most of the markets we sell.

Panels Division

Panel sales reached US$ 449.9 million in the first quarter of this year, an increase of 6.1% when compared to the US$ 424.1 million obtained in the fourth quarter of the year. This increase is mainly explained by an increase in sales volume of 0.8%.

The Panels Division closed the first quarter of 2013 with an increase in accumulated sales of 78% respect to the same quarter of 2012. The increase is explained by the addition of sales coming from our new operations in USA and Canada. Regardless of this important growth, in the case of Argentina and Chile, sales volume during the quarter were stable.

In the case of MDF panel boards, sales volume increased 105% respect to the same quarter of 2012. This strong growth is explained by an increase of supply in the North American market after the Flakeboard and Moncure acquisitions, and also because of the start of the new MDF line in Jaguariaiva, Brazil.

Sales volume of PBO grew 170% with respect to the same quarter of 2012 due to the increase of supply in North America and the additional volume supplied by our new Teno mill in Chile.

In MDF moldings, sales volume grew 10% when compared to the same quarter of 2012, mainly explained by higher demand in North America driven by the housing starts recovery in that market. As of March 2013, prices have increased 19% respect to the March 2012.

Sales volume of our HB panels dropped 9% with respect to the first quarter of 2012. This is explained by a lower demand in South American markets.

4. ANALYSIS OF CASH FLOW

    03-31-2012

Positive Net cash flow (negative)

     (274     217,733   
  

 

 

   

 

 

 

The operating cash flow has a negative balance of U.S.$ 58 million in the current year, with differences over the previous year (positive balance of U.S. $ 410 million) mainly due to bond issues in the year 2012.

In relation to the flow of investment, the current financial year decreased U.S.$ 111 million (U.S.$ 305 million in 2012), mainly due to lower capital investments and lower payments for acquisition of property, plant and equipment in the year 2012.

5. MARKET RISK ANALYSIS

In respect of the economic risks resulting from interest rate variations, the Company maintains, as of March 31, 2013, a ratio of fixed rate debt to total consolidated debt of approximately 87.9%, which it believes is consistent with industry standards. The Company does not engage in futures against variations in the selling prices of pulp and forest products because it believes that risks resulting from price variations are limited, in large part because the Company maintains one of the lowest cost structures in the industry.

The Company and most of its subsidiaries maintain their accounting records and prepare their financial statements in U.S. dollars. Both the accounts receivable and most financial liabilities are denominated in U.S. dollars or are covered by an exchange rate swap, as well as most of their revenues. As a result, exposure to changes in the exchange rate has decreased significantly.

In the report to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements March 31, 2013, Note 23, a detailed analysis of the risks associated with the business of Arauco is available.

Period covered by the Financial Statements

Period ended at March 31, 2013

Date of Approval of Financial Statements

These Interim consolidated financial statements were authorized and approved for issue by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) at the Extraordinary Session N° 486 held on May 14, 2013, for the period from 1 January to 31 March 2013.

Functional and Presentation Currency

Arauco and most of its subsidiaries has determined the U.S. Dollar as its functional currency since majority of its revenues from sales of its products are from exports, while its costs of sales are to a large extent related or index to the U.S. Dollar.

For the pulp operating segment, most of the sales are exports, and the costs are related mainly to plantation costs, which are settled in U.S. Dollars.

For the sawmill, panel and forestry operating segments, although total sales include a mix of domestic and exports sales, the prices for the products are established in U.S. Dollars, as is also the case for the cost structure of the related raw materials.

In relation to cost of sales, although the costs of labor and services are generally billed and paid in local currency, these costs are not as significant as the costs of raw materials, which are driven mainly by global markets and therefore, influenced mostly by the U.S. Dollar.

The presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements is the U.S. dollar.

Figures on these consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of U.S. dollar (ThUS$).

Additional Information Relevant to the Understanding of the Financial Statements

The company Fondo de Inversión Bío Bío and its subsidiary Forestal Río Grande S.A. meet the requirements for classification as Special Purpose Entities. These entities are in substance controlled by Arauco, which is indicated, by the existence of exclusive contracts with Arauco for wood supply, future purchases of land and forest administration. Consequently, the financial statements of these companies are included in the consolidated financial statements of Arauco.

Compliance and adoption of IFRS

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Arauco presents in all material respects its financial position, its results of operations and its cash flows in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

This presentation is required to give a faithful representation of the effects of transactions, as well as other events and conditions, according to the definitions and criteria established within the conceptual framework of IFRS for the recognition of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.

Summary of significant accounting policies

The accompanying Interim consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2013 were prepared in accordance with Arauco’s accounting policies, which have been consistently applied to all periods presented in these Interim consolidated financial statements.

 

a) Basis for Presentation of financial statements

The accompanying Interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and they represent the integral, explicit and unreserved adoption of IFRS.

The Interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for biological assets, and certain financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) that are measured at fair value.

 

b) Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the carrying amounts reported. The estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that are considered to be reasonable. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Management believes that the accounting policies below are the critical judgments that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

- Property, Plant and Equipment

In a business acquisition, management values the acquired property, plant and equipment and their useful lives in consultation with a third party expert.

The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment are reviewed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may be impaired. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and its value in use, with an impairment loss recognized whenever the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. The value in use is calculated using a discounted cash flow model, which is most sensitive to the discount rate as well as the expected future cash inflows.

A sensitivity analysis related to the estimated useful lives is disclosed in Note 7.

- Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. Arauco uses its judgment to select a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at each reporting date.

Detailed financial information about the fair value of financial instruments and sensitivity analysis are presented in Note 23.

- Biological Assets

The recovery of forest plantations is based on discounted cash flow models which mean that the fair value of biological assets is calculated using cash flows from continuing operations on a discounted basis, on our sustainable forest management plans and the estimated growth of forests.

These discounted cash flows require estimates in growth, harvest, sales prices and costs. It is therefore important that management make appropriate estimates of future levels and trends for sales and costs, as well as conduct regular surveys of the forests to establish the volumes of wood available for harvesting and their current growth rates. The main considerations used to measure forest plantations are presented in Note 20, including a sensitivity analysis.

- Impairment of goodwill

Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires the directors to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating unit and suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value.

- Employee benefits

The cost of defined employee benefits for termination of employment, as well as the present value of the obligation is determined using actuarial valuations. The actuarial valuations involve making assumptions about discount rates, staff turnover, future salary increases and mortality rates.

- Litigation and Contingencies

Arauco and its subsidiaries are subject to certain litigation. Future effects on Arauco’s financial condition resulting from such litigation are estimated by management, in collaboration with its legal advisors. Arauco recognizes provisions on each statement of financial position date and/or upon each substantial modification to an underlying claim of any such litigations. For description of current litigations see Note 18.

 

c) Consolidation

The Interim consolidated financial statements include all entities over which Arauco has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, which is presumed to exist when Arauco holds more than one half of the voting rights of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Subsidiaries (including special purpose entities) are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group and up to the date that control ceases.

A special purpose entity (“SPE”) is an organization that is established for a specific purpose or limited duration. Often these SPE serve as intermediary organizations. In substance, the activities of the SPE are being conducted on behalf of Arauco according to its specific business needs so that it obtains benefits from the SPE’s operation. An SPE shall be consolidated when the substance of the relationship between the consolidated entity and the SPE indicates that it is controlled by that entity.

All intercompany transactions and unrealized gains and losses from subsidiaries and special purpose entities have been fully eliminated from consolidation and non-controlling interests is presented in the Interim consolidated statement of financial position within equity, separately from the equity of the owners of the parent.

The Interim consolidated financial statements corresponding to the periods between January 1 and March 31, 2013 and 2012 include the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the subsidiaries shown in Note 13 and those of the Fondo de Inversión Bío Bío, and its subsidiary Forestal Río Grande S.A., both of which are special purpose entities.

Certain consolidated subsidiaries have Brazilian Real and Chilean Pesos as, their functional currencies. For consolidation purposes, the financial statements of those subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and translated into the presentation currency as indicated in Note 1 e) (ii).

Accounting policies for subsidiaries are adjusted if necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies applied by Arauco.

 

d) Segments

Arauco has defined its operating segments according to its business areas, based on the products and services sold to its customers. This definition is consistent with the management, resource allocation and performance assessment made by key personnel responsible for making relevant decisions related to the Company’s operation. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) is the Chief Executive Officer who is responsible for making these decisions and it is supported by the Corporate Managing Directors of each segment.

In line with the above, the Company established operating segments according to the following business units:

 

   

Pulp

 

   

Panels

 

   

Sawn Timber

 

   

Forestry

Refer to Note 24 for detailed financial information by operating segment.

e) Functional currency

(i) Functional currency

All items in the financial statements of Arauco and each of its subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which each entity operates (the functional currency). The Interim consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, which is Arauco’s functional and presentation currency.

(ii) Translation to the presentation currency of Arauco

For the purposes of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of Arauco’s foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity.

On the disposal of a foreign operation, all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the owners of the parent are reclassified to profit or loss. In addition, in relation to a partial disposal of a subsidiary that does not result in Arauco losing control over the subsidiary, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences are re-attributed to non-controlling interests and are not recognized in profit or loss. For partial disposals of associates or jointly controlled entities that do not result in Arauco losing significant influence or joint control, the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences is reclassified to profit or loss.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments on identifiable assets and liabilities acquired arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Exchange difference arising are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity.

(iii) Foreign Currency Transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are recognized at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences on monetary items are recognized in profit or loss in the periods in which they arise except for exchange differences on transactions entered into in order to hedge certain foreign currency risks.

f) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash-in-hand, deposits held on demand at banks and other short term highly liquid investments with an original maturity of less than three months and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

 

g) Financial Instruments

(i) Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if it is acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the short term.

Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated and effective as hedging instruments. Assets in this category are classified as current assets and the obligation for these instruments is presented under other financial liabilities within the statement of financial position.

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date, which is the date on which Arauco commits itself to purchase or sell the asset.

The financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the statement of income. They are subsequently measured at fair value with any gains or losses from changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss.

Interest Rate and Currency Swaps: Swaps are measured using the discounted cash flow method at a discount rate consistent with the risk of the operation.

Foreign Exchange Forwards: These instruments are initially recognized at fair value at the date on which the contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Forwards are recognized as assets when fair value is positive and, as liabilities when fair value is negative.

The fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts is calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturities.

The fair value of interest rate forward contracts is calculated by reference to the difference of the existing interest rates between the interest rate contractually agreed and the market interest rate at the end of each reporting period.

Mutual Funds: They are highly liquid instruments that are sold in the short term and are carried at their net asset value at the end of each period.

(ii) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables are classified as current assets, except for those with maturities more than 12 months after the reporting period, which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables include trade and other receivables.

Loans and receivables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment.

Repurchase Agreements: These are recognized at their initial investment cost plus accrued interest at the end of each reporting period. These contracts have maturities of less than 30 days.

(iii) Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost

Bank borrowings, debt issued (bonds) and financial liabilities of a similar nature are initially recognized at fair value. Transactions costs are included in the carrying amount of the liabilities and are amortized over the lives of the liabilities using the effective interest rate method).

In subsequent periods, they are measured at amortized cost and any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) received, and the redemption value is recognized in profit or loss statement over the life of the debt using the effective interest rate method.

Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

The fair value of bank borrowings is determined using discounted cash flow techniques using rates consistent with the risk associated with bank borrowings of similar nature, while bonds are measured at their quoted market price.

(iv) Trade and other payables

These instruments are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

(v) Hedging instruments

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments in cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the statement of income within other income or other expenses, respectively.

When a hedging instrument expires or is settled, or when it ceases to qualify for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss recognized in equity remains in equity until the forecasted transaction occurs, when the transaction occurs it is reclassified to profit or loss. When a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss recognized in equity is immediately reclassified to profit or loss.

The fair value of hedging instruments are measured using internal model including discounted cash flow techniques that use a discount rate consistent with the operational risk using internal valuation methodology and market information from providers of recognized reputation.

 

h) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost method.

The cost of finished goods and products in process includes the cost of raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and general overhead expenses, excluding interest expenses.

Initial costs of harvested wood are determined at fair value less cost of sale at the point of harvest.

Biological assets are transferred to inventories when forests are harvested.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

When market conditions result in the production costs of a product exceeding its net realizable value, the inventories are write-down to its net realizable value. This write-down also includes obsolescence amounts resulting from slow moving inventories and technical obsolescence.

Spare parts that will be consumed in a period of less than twelve months, are presented in inventories and recognized as an expense when they are consumed.

 

i) Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets held for sale are measured at the lower of their previous carrying value and fair value less costs to sell. Assets are classified as held for sale when their carrying value will be recovered principally through a sale transaction that is highly probable and the non-current asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Management must be committed to a plan to sell the asset, and an active program to locate a buyer and complete the plan must have been initiated. In addition, the sale should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification, except for the existence of events or circumstances (beyond the entity’s control) that may extend the period to complete the sale beyond one year.

Non-current assets classified as held for sale are not depreciated.

 

j) Business Combinations

Arauco applies the acquisition method to account for a business combination. This method, requires to identify the acquirer, determine the acquisition date, recognize and measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling

interest in the acquiree; and recognize and measure goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed and any contingent liabilities in a business combination are initially measured at fair value at the acquisition date.

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognized and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognized directly in the income statement.

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For purposes of impairment testing, goodwill in a business combination is allocated as of the acquisition date to the cash generating unit of the group or groups of cash generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquire are allocated to those units or groups of units.

Acquisition-related costs are accounted for as expenses when they are incurred, except for costs to issue debt or equity securities which are recognized in accordance with IAS 32 and IAS 39.

Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation may be initially measured either at fair value or at the present ownership instruments’ proportionate share in the recognized amounts of the acquire’s identifiable net assets. The choice is made on a transaction-by-transaction basis.

Arauco measures the fair value of the acquired company in the business combination on a step by step basis, recognizing the effects of variation in the income statement.

If the initial accounting for a business combination is not completed by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, Arauco reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. During the measurement period (no more than one year), these provisional amounts are retrospectively adjusted, or additional assets or liabilities are recognized to reflect new information about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized at that date.

 

k) Investments in associates and joint ventures

Associates are entities over which Arauco exercises significant influence, generally when it holds between 20% and 50% of the voting rights, but not control.

Joint venture is defined as an entity over which there is joint control, which exists only when the decisions about strategic of activities, both financial and operational, require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognized at cost. Their carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize Arauco’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income (exchange differences on translation to the reporting currency) of the associate or joint venture. Dividends received are recognized by deducting the carrying amount of the investment. Arauco’s investment in associates includes goodwill (net of any accumulated impairment loss).

If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognized and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognized directly in the income statement.

These investments are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position in the line item “Investments accounted for using equity method”.

If Arauco’s share of losses of an associate or joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the associate or joint venture, Arauco discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. After Arauco’s carrying value in the investee is reduced to zero, additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extent that Arauco has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture. If the associate or joint venture subsequently reports profits, Arauco resumes recognizing its share of those profits only after its share of the profits equals the share of losses not recognized.

 

l) Intangible assets

After initial recognition, intangible assets are with finite useful lives carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and impairment losses.

Amortization of an intangible asset with a finite useful life is allocated on a systematic basis over the asset’s useful life. Amortization begins when the asset is available for use, i.e. when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management

 

(i) Computer Software

Computer software licenses are capitalized in terms of the costs incurred to acquire them and make them compatible with existing software. These costs are amortized over the estimated useful lives.

 

(ii) Water Rights, Easements and Other Rights

This item includes water-rights, easements and other acquired rights recognized at historical cost which have indefinite useful lives as there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which these assets are expected to generate net cash inflows. These rights are not amortized, but are tested for impairment at least annually, or when there is any indication that the assets might be impaired.

 

m) Goodwill

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment on annual basis.

Goodwill recognized for the acquisition of the subsidiary Arauco do Brasil S.A. whose functional currency is the Brazilian real, is translated into U.S. dollars at the closing exchange rate. At the date of these financial statements, the only change in the carrying amount of goodwill is related to the net exchange rate differences on translation.

 

n) Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets.

Subsequent costs, such as improvements and replacement of components, are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to Arauco and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized from property, plant and equipment. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Arauco capitalizes borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets as part of the cost of those assets, until the assets are ready for their intended use (see Note 12).

Depreciation is calculated by components using the straight-line method.

The useful lives of the items of property, plant and equipment is estimated according to the expected use of the assets.

The residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

 

o) Leases

Leases of assets in which Arauco substantially holds all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are initially recognized at the lower of the fair value at the inception of the lease of the leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payments.

When assets are leased under a finance lease, the present value of lease payments are recognized as financial account receivables. Finance income, which is the difference between the gross receivable and the present value of such amount, is recognized as the interest rate of return.

Leases in which substantially all risks and rewards are not transferred to the lessee are classified as operating leases. Payments under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

p) Biological Assets

IAS 41 requires that biological assets, such as standing trees, are measured at fair value in the statement of financial position. Plantations forestry are accounted for at fair value less costs to sell, based on the presumption that fair values of these assets can be measured reliably.

The measurement of plantations forestry is based on discounted cash flow models whereby the fair value of the biological assets is determined using estimated future cash flows from continuing operations calculated using our sustainable forest management plans and including the estimated growth of the forests. This valuation is performed on the basis of each identifiable farm block and for each type of tree.

The measurement of new plantations forestry made during the current year, is made at cost, which corresponds to the fair value at that date. After twelve months, the valuation methodology used is that explained in the preceding paragraph.

Biological assets shown as current assets correspond to those plantations forestry that will be harvested in the short term.

Biological growth and changes in fair value of plantations forestry are recognized in line item other income included in profit from operating activities in the statement of income.

The Company holds fire insurance policies for its plantations forestry, which together with company resources and efficient protection measures for these plantations assets allow financial and operational risks to be minimized.

 

q) Income taxes and Deferred taxes

The tax liabilities are recognized in the financial statements based on the determination of taxable income for the year and calculated using the tax rates in force in the countries where Arauco operates.

Deferred income tax is recognized using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period and that are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

The goodwill arising on business combinations not give rise to deferred tax.

The deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

r) Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation, legal or constructive, as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period.

 

s) Revenue recognition

Revenues are recognized when Arauco has transferred the risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer and Arauco retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold. This means that generally revenues are recorded upon delivery of goods to customers in accordance with the agreed terms of delivery.

 

  (i) Revenue recognition from the Sale of Goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when Arauco has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods, when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, when Arauco does not retain any managerial involvement over the goods sold and when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to Arauco and the costs incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Sales are recognized in terms of the price agreed to in the sales contract, less any volume discounts and estimated product returns at the date of the sale. Volume discounts are evaluated in terms of estimated annual purchases. There is no significant financing component given that receivables from sales are collected within a short period, which is in line with market practices.

 

  (ii) Revenue recognition from Rendering of Services

When the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services can be estimated reliably revenue associated with the transaction is recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the transaction at the date of the reporting period, and when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Arauco.

Arauco mainly provides power supply which are traded in the spot market of the Sistema Interconectado Central (Interconnected Central System). According to current regulations, the prices on that market called “Marginal Costs” are calculated by the Centro de Despacho Económico de Carga del Sistema Interconectado Central (CDEC – SIC) (Load Economical Dispatch Center of the Interconnected Central System) and are generally recognized in the period in which the services are rendered.

Electrical power is generated as a by-product of the pulp process and is a complementary business to it, which is firstly supplied to the group’s subsidiaries and any surplus is sold to the interconnected central system.

Arauco provides other non-core services such as port services and pest control whose revenues are derived from fixed price service contracts, generally recognized during the period of the service contract on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract.

Revenues from operating segments mentioned in Note 24 are measured in accordance with the policies indicated in the preceding paragraphs.

Revenues from inter-segment sales (which are made at market prices) are eliminated in the interim consolidated financial statements.

 

t) Minimum dividend

Article No. 79 of the Chilean Corporations Law states that, unless otherwise unanimously agreed by the shareholders, corporations must distribute annually at least 30% of net income for the current year as cash dividend to shareholders determined in proportion to their shares or in the proportion established in the by-laws for preferred shares, if any, except where necessary to absorb accumulated losses from prior years.

The General Shareholders’ Meeting of Arauco agreed to distribute annual dividends at 40% of net distributable income, including an interim dividend to be distributed at year end. Dividends payable are recognized as a liability in the financial statements in the period when they are declared and approved by the Arauco’s shareholders or when arises the corresponding present obligation based on existing legislation or distribution policies established by the Shareholders’ Meeting.

The interim and final dividends are recorded in equity upon their approval by the Company’s Board of Directors and the shareholders.

Dividends payable are presented in the line item “other current non financial liabilities”.

Dividends paid are not deductible for income tax purposes.

 

u) Impairment

Non-financial Assets

The recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment and other assets with finite useful lives are measured whenever there is any indication that the assets have suffered an impairment loss. Among the indications to consider as evidence of impairment are significant declines in the assets’ market value, significant adverse changes in the technological environment, obsolescence or physical damages of assets and changes in the manner in which the asset is used or expected to be used). Arauco evaluates at the end of each reporting period whether there is any evidence of the indications above mentioned.

For this evaluation, assets are grouped at the lowest level of group of assets that generates cash flows independently.

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful life are tested annually for impairment or whenever circumstances indicate it. The recoverable amount of an intangible asset is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognized directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. Impairment losses are reversed so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

For the purposes of assessing impairment losses, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there is identifiable cash flows separately for each cash-generating unit. Non-financial assets, other than goodwill, which had suffered an impairment loss, are reviewed at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an impairment loss previously recognized may no longer exists or have decreased.

“Cash-generating units” are the smallest identifiable groups of those cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflow from other assets or groups of assets.

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for impairment testing purposes. The allocation is made between cash-generating units or groups of cash generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

Financial Assets

At the end of each reporting period, an evaluation is performed in order to identify whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets may have been impaired. Financial assets are impaired only when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of a financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have been affected. Impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of income.

The allowance for doubtful accounts is established when there is objective evidence that Arauco will not receive payments under the original sale terms. Allowance is made when the customer is a party to a bankruptcy court agreement or cessation of payments, and are written-off when Arauco has exhausted all levels of recovery of the receivable in a reasonable time.

The allowance for doubtful accounts is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of receivables and the present value of estimated future cash flows. The carrying amount of the receivable is reduced through the use of the allowance. If the impairment loss decreases in later periods, it is reversed either directly or by adjusting the provision for doubtful accounts, with effect in profit or loss.

 

v) Employee Benefits

Arauco has severance payment obligations arising from voluntary termination of employment. These are paid to certain employees that have been employed by the company for more than five years in accordance with conditions established within collective or individual employment contracts.

This is an estimate of the years of service-based severance payments to be recognized as a future termination payment liability, in accordance with contracts between Arauco and its employees and pursuant to actuarial valuation criteria for this type of liability. These obligations are considered a defined benefit plan.

The main factors considered for calculating the actuarial value of severance payments obligation for years of service are employee turnover, salary increases and life expectancy of the workers included in this benefit.

Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss in the year they are incurred.

These obligations are treated as post-employment benefits.

 

w) Employee Vacations

Arauco recognizes the expense for employee vacation according to labor legislation in each country on an accrual basis.

This obligation is presented in the line item “Trade and Other payables” in the consolidated statement of financial position.

NOTE 4. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank checking account balances, time deposits, repurchase agreements and mutual funds. They are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

The investment objective of time deposits and repurchase agreements is to maximize in the short-term the amounts of cash surpluses. These instruments are permitted under Arauco’s Investment Policy, which allows investing in fixed income securities. These instruments have a maturity of less than three months from the date of acquisition.

Arauco invests in local and international mutual funds in order to maximize the returns of cash surpluses denominated in Chilean Pesos or in foreign currencies such as U.S. Dollars or Euros. These instruments are permitted under Arauco’s Investment Policy.

As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, there are no amounts of cash and cash equivalents with restrictions on use.

NOTE 6. TAXES

The tax rates applicable in the countries in which Arauco operates are 20% in Chile, 35% in Argentina, 34% in Brazil and 34% in United States (federal tax).

On September 27, 2012, Law N° 20,630 was enacted in Chile, and among other changes, it increases the tax rate to a permanent 20%, effective beginning on tax year 2012. The change in the tax rate in 2012 affected the measurement of the tax consequences of temporary differences that are expected to reverse in the corresponding tax years.

The effect on the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 due to the change in tax rate was an expense of ThU.S.$128,981, which was generated mainly the result of the expected reversal of temporary differences associated with property, plant, equipment and biological assets.

Deferred Tax Assets

The following table sets forth the deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2013 and at December 31, 2012:

As of December 31, 2012, certain of Arauco’s subsidiaries have carryforwards tax losses of ThU.S.$ 453,300 (ThU.S.$ 342,044 as of December 31, 2012) which are mainly generated due to operational and financial losses. Arauco believes that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available in the subsidiaries against which the unused tax losses will be utilized.

Description of Property, Plant and Equipment Pledged as Security for Liabilities

In October 2006, Forestal Río Grande S.A, a subsidiary of Fondo de Inversión Bío Bío (Arauco’s special purpose entity), executed in favor of JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. and Arauco, respectively, first and second degree mortgages, which prohibited the sale of any property owned by Fondo de Inversión Bío Bío in order to secure its obligations.

In September 2007, Forestal Río Grande S.A acquired a real estate in Yungay, located in Chile’s Eighth Region, for which the company executed a first and second degree mortgage in favor of JPMorgan and Arauco, respectively, which prohibited the sale and encumber such property.

NOTE 14. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Subsidiaries

As of March 31, 2013, there are no new investments in subsidiaries to report.

Dated January 1, 2013, the company Arauco Panels Canada ULC merged with its subsidiary Flakeboard Company Ltd., which had no effect on the results of this operations.

Below are the investments or contributions to subsidiaries made in 2012, which had no effect on results, except for the acquisition of assets made by Arauco Panels USA, LLC.

On September 24, 2012, Arauco through its Canadian subsidiary Arauco Panels Canada ULC, acquired all of the shares of the Canadian entity, Flakeboard Company Limited (hereinafter “Flakeboard”) for ThU.S.$ 242,502.

Flakeboard is one of the leading producers of wood panels in North America, that directly and/or through its subsidiaries, owns and operates seven panel plants, with an aggregated production capacity of 1.2 million cubic meters per year for medium density fiberboards, a production capacity of 1.1 million cubic meters per year for particle board panels, and a production capacity of 180,000 cubic meters per year of melamine textured product. The Group made the initial accounting for the acquisition of the Flakeboard based on provisional amounts. The provisional amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed might be adjusted during the measurement period (which shall not exceed one year from the acquisition date) to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances existing as of the acquisition date and, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. (See table 1)

NOTE 16. INTERESTS IN JOINT VENTURES

Investments and contributions made

As of March 31, 2013, Arauco, through its subsidiary Arauco Holanda Cooperatief U.A, made capital contributions for a total of ThU.S.$13,252 (ThU.S.$145,977 as of December 31, 2012) to two Uruguayan joint ventures, Celulosa y Energía Punta Pereira S.A. and Zona Franca Punta Pereira S.A., with Arauco holding 50% ownership interest in the joint venture. This transaction had no effect on results.

Celulosa y Energia Punta Pereira S.A. and Zona Franca Punta Pereira S.A. are both involved in the project known as “Montes del Plata”, the purpose of which is to build a cutting edge cellulose production plant, with a capacity of 1.3 million tons per year, a port and an energy generation unit utilizing renewable resources, which will be located at the town of Punta Pereira, Province of Colonia, Uruguay.

In March 2012 Arauco do Brasil S.A. (a subsidiary) made a capital contribution to Unilin Arauco Pisos Ltda. ( Ex Arauco Pisos Laminados S.A.) in the form of assets for a total of ThR$24,990 (ThU.S.$12,235) for the flooring line of the Pien location (Paraná Brasil), no gain or loss was recognized on this contribution. In April 2012, Arauco sold a 50% interest of Unilin Arauco Pisos Ltda. to Mohwak Unilin International B.V. for ThR$12,500 (ThU.S.$6,120 at December 31, 2013), becoming a joint venture. The sale price for this transaction was equivalent to its carrying amount, thus had no effect on profit or loss. This company is engaged in manufacturing, processing, industrialization and selling of wood laminate floors.

At the date of these financial statements, Arauco has committed contribution to Montes del Plata for ThU.S.$ 52,842.

Investments in Uruguay

The main assets acquired from former owner Grupo Empresarial Ence (Spanish company) during the year 2009 are: 130,000 hectares of land of which 73,000 hectares are forestry plantations; 6,000 hectares under agreements with third parties; one industrial site, the necessary environmental permits for the construction of a pulp mill; a river terminal; one chip producing mill, and one forest nursery.

All these assets were added to the land and plantations that Stora Enso and Arauco already control through a joint venture in Uruguay. With these additions, the joint venture currently maintains ownership interest in forestry area of approximately 265 thousand hectares of land, of which 158 thousand hectares are planted.

Investments in Uruguay are joint ventures because of existing contracts that stipulate that both Arauco and Stora Enso maintain joint control of such investments, each holding a 50% stake.

Furthermore, Arauco holds a 50% in Eka Chile S.A. (“Eka”), a company that sells sodium chlorate to cellulose plants in Chile. A contractual agreement in effect between Arauco and Eka has permitted Arauco and Eka to initiate certain joint venture activities.

Goodwill

Goodwill is allocated to the groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. The goodwill generated by the investment in Arauco do Brasil S.A. (formerly Tafisa) was allocated to the Pien panel segment plant. The recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit was determined based on calculations of its value in use. For this calculation we used the expected future cash flows based on the operational plan approved by the management for 10-year period, applying a discount rate of 10%, which does not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the panel segment in Brazil. As of March 31, 2013 this goodwill amounted to ThU.S.$ 52,411 (ThU.S.$ 51,649 as of December 31, 2012) for a total of goodwill of ThU.S 59,318. The change in the balance of goodwill from Brasil is due only to the exchange difference on translation. Therefore, there has been no increase in the provision of deterioration.

NOTE 18. PROVISIONS, CONTINGENT ASSETS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Lawsuits or other Legal Proceedings

The contingent liabilities that Arauco deems appropriate to disclose are as follows:

Celulosa Arauco y Constitucion S.A.

1. On April 27, 2005, the National Defense Council (Consejo de Defensa del Estado) filed a civil lawsuit against Celulosa Arauco y Constitucion S.A. for reparation of environmental harm and indemnification, caused by the Valdivia Mill Plant, before the First Civil Court of Valdivia (Primer Juzgado Civil de Valdivia) (Rol 746-2005).

The Company filed its response, arguing that it is not responsible for the environmental damages and therefore that the indemnification payments as well as the alleged reparation, are inadmissible. Currently, expert reports have already been submitted, most of which were against the Company’s position. On September 5, 2011, observations regarding the experts’ reports were presented. The inspection of the court was held on 13th, 14th and 15th of March 2012. The National Defense Council requested the Court to certify the expiration of the term to provide evidence. On September 11, 2012, the Court ordered the total re-foliation of the case file. On September 12, 2012, the Court rejected the National Defense Council’s request to hold the judgment hearing. On January 10, 2013, the ruling was notified to the parties for the purposes they may deem fit. On January 15, 2013, the Company requested a term in order to exercise the rights arising from the re-foliation. On March 13, 2013 the Court ordered the parties to hear judgment. Later dated March 26, 2013 ordered the parties to a conciliation hearing, which was held on April 15 last. On that occasion the Court asked the parties to assess the possibility of reconciling, setting a new hearing date for settlement on May 17, 2013.

2. On August 25, 2005, the Chilean Servicio de Impuestos Internos (the “Chilean IRS”) issued tax calculations No. 184 and No. 185 of 2005, objecting to certain capital reduction transactions effected by Arauco on April 16, 2011 and October 31, 2001, and furthermore, requested reimbursement from the Company for amounts returned to it in respect of certain claimed tax losses. On November 7, 2005, the Company requested a Review of the Supervision Action (Revisión de la Actuación Fiscalizadora, or “RAF”), which is an administrative review of the tax action brought by the Chilean IRS, and filed a claim disputing the abovementioned tax calculations No. 184 and 185 of 2005. The RAF was resolved on January 9, 2009 by the Chilean IRS, which resolution, however, only partially sustained the Company’s request. In response, the Company filed an additional complaint with regard to the portion of the RAF that was not granted by the administrative review. On February 19, 2010, the Court acknowledged receipt of the Company’s request. Subsequently, the tax authority issued a report and the Company commented on such report. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the investigation in respect of this complaint is pending.

Considering that the position of the Company is supported by solid legal arguments, there is a reasonable likelihood of a favorable outcome for the Company.

3. On September 22, 2011 Celulosa Arauco y Constitucion S.A. was notified of a civil claim for compensation of prejudice for an alleged tort liability, filed by twelve fishermen of the Mataquito river before the Court of First Instance, Guarantee and Family of

Licantén under Docket number 73-2011, arising out of the dead fish allegedly found in the Mataquito river on September 5, 2007 caused by the Licancel Plant. The plaintiffs seek to be compensated for alleged damages that they have suffered from the aforementioned event, including lost profits, harm and suffering and an alleged contractual liability. The reconsideration appeal filed by the Company against the evidentiary ruling is still pending.

4. On December 20, 2012, the Company was notified of the civil damages claim in summary proceedings, lodged by a group of settlers in the La Concepción sector, near to the Nueva Aldea Plant, the settlers are claiming compensation for alleged environmental damages that affected their quality of life. The claim demands monetary and non-monetary damages. The purported damages refer to atmospheric emissions, pollution in streams, risks related with truck transit and forest fire risks.

On December 27, 2012, the Company requested and obtained from the Court that the lawsuit be treated as ordinary and not summary proceedings. Currently the case is pending issued the corresponding self-test, having already exhausted the discussion period.

Alto Paraná S.A.

1. (i)On October 8, 2007, the Federal Administration of Public Income (Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos) (“AFIP”) initiated an ex oficio proceeding against the Company’s Argentine affiliate Alto Paraná S.A. (“APSA”) questioning whether APSA erred in deducting from its income tax liability certain expenses, interest payments and exchange rate differences generated by Private Negotiable Obligations which were issued by APSA in 2001 and paid in 2007.

On November 20, 2007, APSA submitted a counterclaim to the claims presented by AFIP, completely rejecting all of AFIP’s allegations and asserting legal arguments that justify its actions in the determination of its tax burden.

On December 14, 2007, AFIP notified APSA that its counterclaim had been dismissed, thus issuing an ex-oficio ruling and ordering the payment, within 15 working days, of the calculated income tax difference for the 2002, 2003 and 2004 fiscal years of $417,908,207 argentine pesos including capital (ThU.S.$ 81,590 at March 31, 2013), compensatory interest, and fines for omission.

On February 11, 2008, APSA appealed the aforementioned ruling before the National Tax Court (Tribunal Fiscal de la Nación) (“TFN”).

On February 8, 2010, APSA was notified of TFN’s ruling, which confirmed the ruling issued by AFIP, with court expenses, based on arguments different from those that justified AFIP’s ex-oficio decision. This decision by the TFN extinguished the administrative process. As a result, the Company’s only remaining option was to pursue a remedy before the Contentious Administrative Matters Federal Appeals Court (Cámara de Apelaciones en lo Contencioso Administrativo Federal) (“CACAF”) and, subsequently, the National Supreme Court of Justice (Corte Suprema de Justicia de la Nación).

On February 15, 2010, APSA appealed before the CACAF, making all necessary submissions with the purpose of attaining a revocation of the contested decision. APSA paid litigation fees (tasa de justicia) in the amount of $5,886,053 Argentine Pesos (ThU.S.$1,149 at March 31, 2013).

On March 18, 2010, the CACAF issued a court decree in which it ordered the AFIP to refrain from requesting the blocking of preventive interim relief measures, administratively demanding payment, issuing debt invoices, or initiating judicial collection actions, including seizure of property and other enforcement measures, against APSA until CACAF reaches a decision on APSA’s request for an injunction.

On May 13, 2010, the CACAF decided to grant the injunction requested by APSA, ordering to suspend the enforcement of the AFIP resolution until the final decision on this matter. This injunction was granted by the CACAF subject to the granting of a corresponding bond. On May 19, 2010, APSA filed with the Appeal Court a surety policy issued by Zurich Argentina Cía. de Seguros S.A. On May 20, 2010, the CACAF asked APSA to specify the areas covered by the suretyship insurance. On May 28, 2010 APSA complied with this request and attached Endorsement No. 1 of the surety policy in favor of the CACAF – Trial Chamber I – in the amount of $ 633,616,741 Argentine pesos (equivalent to ThU.S.$123,632 as of March 31, 2013), which includes initial capital, plus adjustments and interests to the date of the bond. On June 2, 2010 the CACAF accepted this surety filed by APSA and sent notice to AFIP of the injunction granted. On June 4, 2010 the AFIP was notified of the ruling dated May 13, 2010, which is final since June 22, 2010.

On February 01, 2013, APSA received notice of the decision dated December 28, 2012, whereby the I Chamber of Appeals rejected the appeal lodged by the Company, confirming the ex officio determination of the AFIP, and imposed the judicial fees for both instances as per their generation, since there was contradictory case law. The Company appealed this decision before the Supreme Court of the Nation via the various legal procedural remedies available. On February 4, 2013, the Company filed an ordinary appeal against the Chamber’s decision and on February 19, 2013, it also filed an extraordinary appeal against the same judgment, both before the Supreme Court of the Nation. On May 6, 2013, APSA was notified of the decision of the Court of Appeals that, as of April 23, 2013 granted the ordinary appeal to the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation and was present, to her chance the Extraordinary Appeal field.

The reasoning of the Chamber of Appeals’ decision did not modify the opinion of our external counsel in that the Company acted in accordance with law when deducting the interest, expenses and exchange differences in the indebtedness challenged by the State, and they still hold that there are good possibilities for the decision to be quashed, rendering without effect AFIP’s ex officio determination. For this reason, we have not made debt provisions in any of the fiscal years during which said negotiable obligations were in effect.

(ii) Within the course of this case’s proceedings, and particularly regarding payment of the litigation fees (tasa de justicia) before the TFN, on July 18, 2008, the Examining Officer ordered APSA to pay $ 10,447,705 Argentine Pesos (ThU.S.$2,039 at March 31, 2013) as payment of Tasa de Actuación (Litigation Fee) before the TFN. On August 14 2008, APSA filed a petition with the court requesting that this order be reconsidered, or in the alternative, rejected on the grounds that the requested amount was unreasonable. APSA provided evidence that it had paid $ 1,634,914 Argentine Pesos (ThU.S.$319 at March 31, 2013), considering that this was the actual amount due, pursuant to Law, for the Tasa de Actuación (Litigation Fee). On April 13, 2010, the First Courtroom of the CACAF denied APSA’s appeal. On April 26, 2011 APSA filed an ordinary appeal against the latter decree before the Supreme Court

of the Justice, which was granted on February, 3, 2011. On June 23, 2011 the brief with the ordinary appeal was filed before the Supreme Court. On July, 14, 2011 the AFIP answered the petition of this brief. On May 8th, 2012, the Supreme Court ruled that the ordinary remedy was wrongly admitted, since the appealed sentence was not a final ruling. The case file was returned to Chamber I of the National Appeals Court of Adversarial Administrative Matters. On June 15th, 2012, APSA requested that the case be suspended until the substantial issues of the case were resolved, a request which was rejected by the CACAF on June 25th, 2012. On July 2, 2012, APSA filed a motion to reconsider, requesting that such ruling be rendered ineffective and the extraordinary proceeding be suspended until the substantial issues of the case were ruled on, also expressing that it still maintained its interest in the extraordinary remedy that was submitted. On August 21, 2012, APSA filed a presentation which expressed its interest to maintain the extraordinary appeal. Based on their analysis of the grounds underlying the appeal, APSA’s counsel has an optimistic view of the case.

2. On November 28, 2008, Alto Paraná S.A. (APSA) was notified of Resolution 212 issued by the Argentine Central Bank (BCRA) on November 19, 2008, by which the BCRA ordered Indictment No. 3991 questioning the timely liquidation of certain foreign currency.

With respect to APSA’s export proceeds. APSA responded to the charges in a timely and correct manner. Currently, the report is in Nº 8 Economic Criminal Court, 16 Secretariat.

As of the date of these consolidated financial statements and considering the preliminary state of proceedings, Alto Paraná S.A. (APSA) legal advisors are not in a position to estimate the outcome. Therefore, with the understanding that there are no legal grounds for the charges, no provision has been made for this claim. At the closing date there are no other contingencies that might significantly affect the Company’s financial, economic or operational conditions.

Arauco do Brasil S.A.

On November 8, 2012, Brazilian Tax Authorities issued an Infraction Notice against one of our Brazilian subsidiaries, Arauco do Brasil S.A., for alleged unpaid taxes purportedly due by such company for the years 2006 to 2010 in the aggregate amount of R$172 million (approximately US$85 million). In particular, the Tax Authorities (i) objected to the deductibility of certain payments made and expenses incurred (including premium amortization, interest and legal expenses) by Arauco do Brasil between 2005 and 2010 and (ii) alleged that Arauco do Brasil made certain underpayments in respect of the Brazilian Corporate Income Tax (“IRPJ”) and the Brazilian Social Contribution on Net Profits (“CSL”) during 2010. Currently, the aggregate amount of the claims asserted in the Infraction Notice, plus interest, correspond to R$177 million (approximately US$88 million).

On December 11, 2012, Arauco do Brasil filed an objection to cancel the Infraction Notice before the Judgment Office of the Brazilian Revenue Service, first administrative level. As of the date of this annual report, judgment in respect of this objection remains pending. The Company believes that its objection to the Infraction Notice is supported by solid legal arguments and that there is a reasonable likelihood that this matter will result in a favorable outcome for the Company. However, if this result does not occur, it is possible that an obligation will arise for the amount specified, plus any accrued interest and penalties as of the payment date.

NOTE 20. BIOLOGICAL ASSETS

Biological assets comprise of plantations forestry, of mainly radiata and taeda pine, and to a lower extent of eucalyptus. The plantations are located in Chile, Argentina, and Brazil, with a total surface of 1.5 million hectares, out of which 929 thousand hectares are used for forestry planting, 381 thousand hectares are native forest, 147 thousand hectares are used for other purposes and 65 thousand hectares not yet planted.

As of March 31, 2013, the production volume of logs totaled 4.9 million cubic meters (4.3 million cubic meters as of March 31, 2012).

The main considerations in determining the fair value of biological assets include the following:

 

 

Arauco uses the discounted expected future cash flows of its forest plantations, which are based on a harvest projection date for all existing plantations.

 

 

Current plantations forestry are current expectations total volume does not decrease, with a minimum equal to the current supply demand.

 

 

Future plantations are not considered.

 

 

The harvest of plantations forestry supplies raw material for all other products that Arauco produces and sells. By directly controlling the development of forests that will be processed, Arauco ensures to itself, high quality timber for each of its products.

 

 

Expected cash flows are determined in terms of harvest and expected sale of forestry products, associated with the demand from the Company’s owned industrial centers and sales to third parties at market prices. Sales margin is also considered in the valuation of the different products that are harvested in the forest. Any changes in the fair value of the plantations are recognized in profit or loss in the line item other income within the statement of income. Changes in fair value of biological assets were ThUS$67,609 as of March 31, 2013 and ThUS$43,890, as of March 31, 2012, respectively. As a result of measuring biological assets at its fair value a higher cost of sales of ThUS$46,046 as of March 31, 2013 and ThUS$47,514 was recognized as of March 31, 2012, resulting from the difference between the cost of wood at fair value versus actual cost incurred.

 

 

Plantations forestry are harvested according to the needs of Arauco’s production plants.

 

 

The discount rates used are 8% in Chile, 12% in Argentina and 8% in Brazil.

 

 

It is expected that prices of harvested timber are constant in real terms based on market prices.

 

 

Cost expectations with respect to the lifetime of the forests are constant based on estimated costs included in the projections made by Arauco.

     -10         (408,277

Differences in valuation of biological assets, in the discount rate and in the margins are recognized in the Statement of Income under line items “other income” and “other expenses”, as appropriate.

Plantations forestry classified as current Biological assets are those to be harvested and sold within twelve months after the reporting period.

The Company has contracted fire insurance policies for its plantations forestry, which in conjunction with company resources and efficient protection measures for these forestry assets allow financial and operational risks to be minimized.

Uruguay

Arauco owns biological assets in Uruguay through a joint venture with Stora Enso, which is accounted for in these consolidated financial statements under the equity method (see Note 16).

As of March 31, 2013, Arauco’s investment in Uruguay represented a total of 132 thousand hectares, out of which 79 thousand hectares are allocated to plantations, 6 thousand hectares to native forest, 41 thousand hectares for other uses, and 6 thousand hectares for planting.

Detail of Biological Assets Pledged as Security

There are no forestry plantations pledged as security, except for those owned by Forestal Río Grande S.A. (affiliate of Fondo de Inversiones Bio Bio, a special purpose entity). In October 2006, Forestal Río Grande S.A. has pledged its forestry plantations with prohibition to sell and encumber them to secure its liabilities with JPMorgan and Arauco.

As of March 31, 2013, the fair value of these forests was ThU.S.$2,394 (ThU.S.$2,394 as of December 31, 2012).

Detail of Biological Assets with Restricted Ownership

As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, there are no biological assets with restricted ownership.

NOTE 21. ENVIRONMENT

Environment Management

For Arauco, sustainability means management strategy. This strategy incorporates values, commitments and standards, that together with the adoption of best practices as well as the use of the latest available technologies, seek to continuously improve the Company’s environmental management. It is the environmental department and each of its specialists that ensure these guidelines are met and are put in to practice in everyday company operations.

All of Arauco’s production units have certified environmental management systems, which reinforce the Company’s commitment to environmental performance and ensure the traceability of all raw materials used.

Arauco uses several supplies in its productive processes such as wood, chemical products, and water, etc., which in turn produce liquid and gas emissions. As a way to make the Company’s environmental management more efficient, significant progress has been made to reduce consumption and emissions.

Environmental investments have been made related to the control of atmospheric emissions, process improvements, water and waste management, as well as effluent treatment, in order to improve the environmental performance of all of Arauco’s business units.

Valuation techniques and assumptions applied for the purpose of measuring fair value

The carrying amount of trade and other receivables, trade and others payables, accounts payables related parties, cash and cash equivalents, and other financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments, and, in the case of trade and other receivables, due to the fact that any loss resulting from its recoverability is already reflected in the provision for impairment losses.

The fair value of non-derivative financial assets and financial liabilities that are not traded in active markets is estimated through the use of discounted cash flows that are calculated over market variables that are observable at the date of the financial statements.

The fair values of bonds issued were determined with reference to quoted market prices as they have standard terms and conditions and traded on an active liquid market.

The fair value of bank borrowings were determined based on discounted cash flow analysis, applying the corresponding discount yield curves to the remaining term to maturity.

The following table sets forth the current portion of the non-current bank borrowings and debt issued as of March 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012.

Hedging Instruments

As of March 31, 2013, Arauco has certain derivatives designated as hedging instruments for cash flow hedge purposes. Specifically, Arauco has designated cross currency swaps as hedging instruments whose fair value was ThU.S.$72,361 for those in an asset position and ThU.S.$6,351 for those in a liability position, which are presented in the consolidated statements of financial position in the line items “other non-current financial assets” and “other non-current financial liabilities”, respectively. Arauco has also designated foreign exchange forwards as hedging instruments whose fair value was ThU.S.$316, which is presented in the consolidated statements of financial position in the line item other current financial assets. Changes in fair value during the period have been recognized in other comprehensive income and have been accumulated in equity.

Nature of Risk

Arauco is exposed to the risk of variability in cash flows from changes in foreign exchange rates, mainly due to balances of assets denominated in U.S. Dollars and liabilities denominated in UF (obligations to the public), which causes mismatches that could affect operating results.

Information on Swaps Designated as Hedging Instruments

Swaps hedging Bonds Series H

Hedged Item

In March 2009, Arauco issued Bonds Series H for total of U.F. 2,000,000 at an annual interest rate of 2.25% payable semi-annually (in March and September of each year). In order to mitigate the risk of variability of cash flows from changes in the exchange rate, Arauco entered into two cross-currency swaps that fully hedge the total amount of the bond issued:

Hedging instrument

Contract 1: Arauco receives semi-annual interest (in March and September of each year) based on a notional amount of 1,000,000 UF at a 2.25% annual interest rate, and pays semi-annual interest (in March and September of each year) based on a notional amount of US$ 35.7 million (equivalent to 1,000,000 UF at the exchange rate at the date of the contract) at an annual interest rate of 4.99%. The swap matures on March 1, 2014. The fair value of the swap was ThU.S.$11,066 as of March 31, 2013.

Based on its test of effectiveness, Arauco determined that the hedging instrument is highly effective to offset the variability in cash flows of the hedged item from changes in the exchange rate.

Swaps Hedging Bond Series P

Hedged Item

In April 2012, Arauco issued bond series P for a total of 5,000,000 UF at an annual interest rate of 3.96% payable semi-annually. In order to mitigate the risk of variability in cash flows from changes in the exchange rate, Arauco entered into two cross-currency swaps that partially cover amount of the bond issued:

Hedging instrument

Contract 1: Arauco receives semi-annual interest payments (in May and November) based on a notional amount of 1,000,000 UF at an annual interest rate of 3.96%, and pays semi-annual interest (in May and November) based on a notional amount of U.S.$ 46.47 million (equivalent to 1,000,000 UF at the exchange rate at the date of the contract) at an annual interest rate of 4.39%. This contract matures on November 15, 2021. The fair value of this swap is ThU.S.$ 99 as of March 31, 2013.

Contract 2: Arauco receives semi-annual interest (May and November) based on a notional amount of UF 1,000,000 at an annual interest rate of 3.96%, and pay semiannual interest (May and November) based on a notional amount of U.S.$ 47.16 million (equivalent to UF 1,000,000 at the year-end exchange rate) at an annual interest rate of 3.97%. This contract matures on November 15, 2021. The fair value is ThU.S.$ 972 as of March 31, 2013.

Based on its test of effectiveness, Arauco determined that the hedging instrument is highly effective to offset the variability in cash flows of the hedged item from changes in the exchange rate.

Hedging Strategy

Considering that Arauco has a high percentage of assets denominated in U.S. Dollars (its functional currency), it is exposed to the risk of exchange rate as it has bonds issued denominated in U.F. (Chilean inflation-indexed, peso-denominated monetary unit). The objective of entering into cross currency swaps is to hedge the variability in cash flows for the U.F. exchange rate, exchanging the cash flows from the bonds issued denominated in U.F., with cash flows in U.S. Dollar at a fixed exchange rate determined at inception of the cross currency swaps.

Time Deposits and Repurchase Agreements:

The investment objective of time deposits and repurchase agreements is to maximize in the short-term the amounts of cash surpluses. These instruments are authorized by Arauco’s Investment Policy, which allows investing in fixed income securities. These instruments have a maturity of less than three months from the date of acquisition.

Trades and Other Receivables: These represent enforceable rights for Arauco resulting from the normal course of the business.

Other Receivables: These correspond to receivables from sales, services or loans that are not considered within the normal course of the business.

The provision for doubtful accounts is presented as a deduction of trade and other receivables. The provision for doubtful accounts is established when there is objective evidence that Arauco will not receive payments under the original sale terms. Provisions are made when the customer is a party to a bankruptcy court agreement or cessation of payments, and are written-off when Arauco has exhausted all levels of recovery of debt in a reasonable time.

Accounts receivable from related parties: Represent enforceable rights for Arauco generated in the ordinary course of business, calling it normal to the line of business, activity or purpose of the operation and financing, in which Arauco owns a non-controlling interest in the ownership of the counterparty.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated statements of financial position as of March 31, 2013, have been measured based on the valuation methodologies provided in IAS 39. The methodologies applied for each financial instrument are classified according to their hierarchy as follows:

 

 

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

 

 

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

 

 

Level 3: Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Explanation of Credit Risk Exposure and How This Risk Arises

Arauco’s exposure to credit risk is directly related to each of its customer’s individual abilities to fulfill their contractual commitments, reflected in trade receivables. Furthermore, credit risk also arises for time deposits, repurchase agreements and mutual funds.

As a policy for its trade receivables, Arauco entered into insurance policies for open account sales. The insurance policies are used to cover export sales from Arauco, Aserraderos Arauco S.A., Paneles Arauco S.A., Forestal Arauco S.A., and Alto Paraná S.A. as well as domestic sales of Arauco Distribución S.A., Arauco México S.A. de C.V., Arauco Wood Inc., Arauco Colombia S.A., Arauco Perú S.A., Arauco Panels USA LLC, Flakeboard Co Ltd., Flakeboard America Ltd. and Alto Paraná S.A. (and subsidiaries). Arauco contracts its insurance policies with Continental Credit Insurance Company (rated AA- by credit agencies as Humphreys and Fitch Ratings on April 04, 2012). Until November 30, 2012, Arauco do Brasil (and subsidiaries) insured its. Domestic credit sales with Euler Hermes Insurance Company and beginning on December 1, 2012, insurance policies all credit sales in the Arauco Group are insured with the Continental Credit Insurance Company. The insurance policies cover 90% of the amount invoice with no deductible.

In order to secure a credit line or an advanced payment to a supplier approved by the Credit Committee, Arauco gives several types of guarantees, such as mortgages, pledges, standby letters of credit, certificates of deposit, checks, promissory notes, mutual loans or any other guarantee that may be requested pursuant to each country’s legislation. The procedure to issue a guarantees is established in the Arauco’s Guarantee Policy, which has the purpose to control the accounting, maturity and valuation of such guarantees.

As of March, 2013, the total amount of guarantees given was U.S.$ 153,29 millions, which is summarized in the following table.

Explanation of Risk Management Objectives, Policies and Processes, and Measurement Methods

The Credit and Collections Department, which reports to the Financial Department, is responsible for minimizing receivables credit risk and supervising past due accounts. It is also responsible for the approval or rejection of credit limits for all sales. The standards and procedures governing the control and risk management of credit sales are set forth the Company’s Credit Policy.

For customer credit line approval and/or modification, all Arauco group companies must follow an established procedure. All Credit requests are entered into a Credit Evaluation model (EVARIE) where all available information is analyzed, including the credit line given by the credit insurance company. Subsequently, credit requests are approved or rejected by the internal committee of each company within the Arauco group considering the maximum amount authorized by the Credit Policy Department. If the credit line exceeds the maximum established amount, it is subsequently analyzed by the Corporate Committee. Credit lines are renewed on a yearly basis.

Sales with letters of credit are mainly to Asia and the Middle East. Credit assessments of the issuing banks are performed periodically, in order to obtain domestic and international credit ratings made by the principal credit rating agencies, and of their financial position over the past five years. Depending on this evaluation, it is decided whether the issuing bank is approved or confirmation of the letter of credit is requested.

All sales are controlled by a credit verification system that has set parameters to block orders from customers who have accumulated past due amounts of a defined percentage of the debt and/or customers who at the time of product delivery have exceeded their credit limit or whose credit limit has expired.

Of total trade receivables as of March 31, 2013, 90.54% is the debt to date, the 6.56% is between 1 and 15 days past due, 0.70 % are between 16 and 30 days, 0.20 % are between 31 and 60 days, 0.27 % are between 61 and 90 days past due, 0.17 % are between 91 and 180 days past due and 1.56 % have more than 180 days past due, this being the maximum distribution of credit for Arauco.

Explanation of any changes to risk exposure or changes in objectives, processes and policies regarding previous years’ risk management

In March 2009, Arauco implemented a Guarantee Policy in order to control accounting, valuation and expiration dates of collaterals received.

In December 2012, Arauco updated its Corporate Credit Policy.

Regarding the credit risk of time deposits, repurchase agreements and mutual funds, Arauco has in place a policy that minimizes the risk through guidelines for management of cash flow surpluses in low-risk institutions.

Currently there is a policy for provisions for doubtful accounts receivable under IFRS for all the Arauco group companies.

Investment Policy

Arauco has an Investment Policy which identifies and limits the financial instruments and the entities that Arauco and its subsidiaries are authorized to invest in.

The company’s Treasury Department is centralized with operations in Chile. The Head Office is responsible for carrying out investments, cash flow surplus investments, and short and long term debt subscriptions. Exceptions to this rule are specific investments made through other companies where authorization is required from the Chief Financial Officer.

For financial instruments, the only permitted investments are fixed income investments and instruments with adequate liquidity. Each instrument has defined classifications and limits, depending on duration and type of issuer.

Regarding to intermediaries (such as banks, securities brokers and broker/dealers of mutual funds), a scoring methodology is used to determining the relative degree of risk of each intermediary based on their financial position and assigning score points that result in a credit risk rating to each intermediary. Arauco uses this scoring system to determine its investment limits for each intermediary.

The required information to evaluate the various criteria are obtained from published financial statements from the banks under evaluation and from the credit risk ratings of short and long term debt securities obtained from rating agencies authorized by the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions (Fitch Ratings Chile, Humphreys and Feller Rate).

The criteria evaluated are: Capital and Reserves, Current Ratio, Return on equity, Net Income to Operating income Ratio, Debt to Equity Ratio and the Credit Risk rating of each entity.

Any necessary exceptions regarding investment limits in each particular instrument or entity must have the authorization from Arauco’s Chief Financial Officer.

Liquidity Risk

Description

This risk corresponds to Arauco’s ability to fulfill its financial obligations upon maturity.

Explanation of Liquidity Risk Exposure and How This Risk Arises

Arauco’s exposure to liquidity risk is mainly from its obligations to bondholders, banks and financial institutions, creditors and other payables. Liquidity risk may arise if Arauco is unable to meet the net cash flow requirements, which sustain its operations under both normal and exceptional circumstances.

Explanation of Objectives, Policies and Processes for Risk Management, and Measurement Methods

The Financial Management Department monitors on an ongoing basis the Company’s cash flow forecasts based on short and long term forecasts and available financing alternatives. In order to manage the risk level of financial assets, Arauco follows its investment policy.

Type of Risk: Market Risk – Exchange Rate

Description

Market risk arises from the probability of being affected by losses from fluctuations in currencies exchange rates in which assets and liabilities are denominated, in a functional currency other than the functional currency of Arauco.

Explanation of Currency Risk Exposure and How This Risk Arises

Arauco is exposed to the foreign currency risk from currency fluctuations arising from sales, purchases and obligations undertaken in foreign currencies, such as the Chilean Peso, Euro, Brazilian Real or other foreign currencies. In the case of significant exchange rate variations, the Chilean Peso is the currency that represents the main currency risk. See note 11 for details assets and liabilities classified by currency.

Explanation of Risk Management Objectives, Policies and Processes, and Measurement Methods

Arauco performs sensitivity analyses to measure the currency risk over the EBITDA and Net Income.

Sensitivity analysis considers a variation of +/- 10% of the exchange rate over the Chilean Peso. This fluctuation range is considered possible given current market conditions at the closing date. With all other variables at a constant rate, a U.S. Dollar exchange rate variation of +/- 10% in relation to the Chilean Peso would mean a change in the net income after tax +/- 0.05% (equivalent to ThU.S.$ +/-225), and +/- 0.00% of assets (equivalent to ThU.S.$ +/-135) and EBITDA practically not be affected.

The main financial instrument subject to the risk in exchange rate corresponds to domestic bonds issued denominated in UF and that are not hedged with cross currency swaps described in the hedge accounting disclosures.

Additionally, a sensitivity analysis is carried out assuming a variation of +/- 10% in the closing exchange rate on the Brazilian real, which is considered a possible range of fluctuation given the market conditions at the closing date. With all the other variables constant, a variation of +/- 10% in the exchange rate of the dollar on the Brazilian real would mean a variation on the net income after tax +/- 0.42% (equivalent to ThU.S.$318) and a change on the equity of +/- 0.42% (equivalent to ThU.S.$318).

Market Risk – Interest rate risk

Description

Interest rate risk refers to the sensitivity of the value of financial assets and liabilities in terms of interest rate fluctuations.

Explanation of Interest Rate Risk Exposure and How This Risk Arises

Arauco is exposed to risks due to interest rate fluctuations for bonds issued, bank borrowings and financial instruments that bear interest at a variable rate.

Explanation of Risk Management Objectives, Policies and Processes, and Measurement Methods

Arauco completes its risk analysis by reviewing its exposure to changes in interest rates. As of March 31, 2013, 12.1% of the Company’s bonds and bank loans bear interest at variable rates. A change of +/- 10% interest, rate is considered a possible range of fluctuation. Such market conditions would affect the income after tax at rate of +/- 0.02% (equivalent to ThU.S.$ 109) and +/- 0.00% (equivalent to ThU.S.$+/- 65) on equity.

Pulp prices are determined by world and regional market conditions. Prices fluctuate based on demand, production capacity, commercial strategies adopted by large-scale forestry companies, pulp and paper producers and by the availability of substitutes.

Explanation of Price Risk Exposure and How This Risk Arises

Pulp prices are reflected in revenue from sales and directly affect the net income for the period.

As of March 31, 2013, revenue due to pulp sales accounted for 39.3% of total sales. Pulp prices are fixed on a monthly basis in accordance with the market. Forward contracts or other financial instruments are not used for pulp sales.

Explanation of Risk Management Objectives, Policies and Processes, and Measurement Methods

This risk is approached in different ways. Arauco has a team of specialists who perform periodic market and competition analyses, providing tools to analyze and evaluate trends and adjust forecasts. Similarly, Arauco performs price financial sensitivity analysis in order to take the necessary safeguards to confront different scenarios in the best possible manner.

Sensitivity analysis considers a variation of +/- 10% in the average pulp price, a possible fluctuation range given current market conditions at the date of the closing balance. With all other variables constant, a variation of +/- 10% in the average pulp price would mean an EBITDA annual variation of +/- 12.1% (equivalent to ThU.S.$161 ), on the income after tax and +/- 21.5% (equivalent to ThU.S.$ 131) and +/- 1.1% (equivalent to U.S.$ 79 million) on equity.

NOTE 24. OPERATING SEGMENTS

The main products that generate revenue for each operating segment are described as follows:

 

   

Pulp: The main products sold by this operating segment are long fiber bleached pulp (BSKP), short fiber bleached pulp (BHKP), long fiber raw pulp (UKP), and pulp fluff.

 

   

Panels: The main products sold by this operating segment are plywood panels, MDF panels (medium density fiberboard), Hardboard Panels, PB Panels (agglomerated) and MDF Moldings.

 

   

Sawn Timber: The range of products sold by this operating segment includes different sizes of sawn wood and remanufactured products such as moldings, precut pieces and finger joints.

 

   

Forestry: This operating segment produces and sells sawn logs, pulpable logs, posts and chips made from owned forests of Radiata and Taeda pine, eucalyptus globulus and nitens forests. Additionally, purchases logs and woodchip from third parties, which it sells to its other operating segment.

Pulp

The Pulp operating segment uses wood exclusively from pine and eucalyptus plantations for the production of different classes of wood cellulose or pulp. Bleached pulp is mainly used as raw material for producing printing and writing paper, as well as toilet paper and high quality wrapping paper. Unbleached pulp is used to produce packing paper, filters, fiber cement products, dielectric paper and others. On the other hand, fluff pulp is mainly used in the production of diapers and female hygiene products.

Arauco has six plants, five in Chile and one in Argentina, and they have a total production capacity of approximately 3.2 million tons per year. Pulp is sold in more than 39 countries, mainly in Asia and Europe.

Panels

The Panels operating segment produces a wide range of panel products and several kinds of moldings aimed at the furniture, decoration and construction industries. In its 15 industrial plants: 3 in Chile, 2 in Argentina, 2 in Brazil, and 8 plants around USA and Canada. The Company has a total annual production capacity of 5.7 million cubic meters of PBO, MDF, Hardboards, plywood and moldings.

Sawn Timber

The Sawn Timber operating segment produces a wide range of wood and remanufactured products with different kinds of uses and appearances, which include a wide variety of uses in the furniture, packing, construction and refurbishing industries.

With 9 saw mills in operation (8 in Chile and 1 in Argentina), the Company has a production capacity of 2.4 million cubic meters of sawn wood.

Furthermore, the Company has 5 remanufacturing plants, 4 in Chile and 1 in Argentina. These plants reprocess sawn wood and produce high quality remanufactured products, such as finger joint and solid moldings as well as precut pieces. These products are sold in more than 36 countries.

Forestry

The Forestry operating segment is Arauco’s core business. It provides raw materials for all products manufactured and sold by the Company. By directly controlling the growth of the forests to be processed, Arauco guarantees itself quality wood for each of its products.

Arauco holds forestry assets distributed throughout Chile, Argentina and Brazil, reaching 1.6 million hectares, of which 961 thousand hectares are used for plantations, 391 thousand hectares for native forests, 148 thousand hectares for other uses and 60 thousand hectares are to be planted. Arauco’s principal plantations consist of radiata and taeda pine and in lesser degree of eucalyptus. These are species that have fast growth rates and short harvest cycles compared with other long fiber commercial woods.

Additionally, Arauco jointly owns a plantation forestry of 135 thousand hectares in Uruguay through a joint venture with Stora Enso, which is presented under line item “Investment in associates accounted for the equity method” (see Note 15 and 16).

Arauco has no customers representing 10% or more of its revenues.

NOTE 26. DISTRIBUTABLE NET INCOME AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

Distributable net income

As a general policy, the Board of Directors of Arauco agreed that the net income to be distributed as dividend is determined based on realized gains/(losses), net of any relevant variations in the value of unrealized assets and liabilities, which are excluded from the calculation of net income during the period such changes are made.

As a result of the foregoing, for purposes of determining the distributable net income of the Company, which is the same considered for calculating the minimum dividend required and additional dividend, the following unrealized gains/losses are excluded from the net income for the year:

 

1) Unrealized gains/losses relating to the fair value recorded for forestry assets under IAS 41, adding them back to net income when they are realized through sale or disposed of by other means.

 

2) Those generated through the acquisition of entities. These results will be added back to net income when they are realized through sale.

 

3) The deferred taxes associated with the amounts described in 1) and 2) above are also excluded.
