Total net equity and liabilities

     14,962,689         14,493,395   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

As of September 30, 2014, total assets increased US$469 million compared to December 31, 2013, equivalent to 3.24% of variation. This deviation is mainly attributable to an increase in the balance of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and accounts receivable from related parties.

Moreover, current liabilities increased US$640 million mainly attributable to an increase in financial liabilities and deferred tax liabilities.

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

 

Liquidity ratios

   09-30-2014      12-31-2013  

Current Liquidity (current assets / current liabilities )

     1.97         1.67   

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

     1.25         0.98   

Debt indicators

   09-30-2014      12-31-2013  

Debt to equity ratio (total liabilities / equity)

     1.18         1.06   

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

     0.21         0.23   

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

     0.79         0.77   
     09-30-2014      09-30-2013  

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

     3.47         3.61

     120.95         113.47   

Inventory permanence-days (excluding biological assets) (inventory / cost of sales)

     92.71         87.18   

As of September 30, 2014, the short-term debt represented 21% of total liabilities (23% as of December 31, 2013).

The ratio of financial expenses covered represents a decrease of 3.61 to 3.47. This decrease is mainly attributable to a lower proportional result and higher financial expense for the 2014 period, compared to the same period of 2013.

 

b) Statements of income

Profit before Income Tax

Profit before Income Tax registered a profit of US$439 million compared to a profit of US$461 million in the same period of the previous year, equivalent to a negative variation of US$22 million. The effect is explained by the factors described in the following table:

Gross Margin represents a profit of U.S.$1,281 million, U.S.$80 million higher compared to the previous period (U.S.$1,201 million as of September 30, 2013) caused by an increase in net sales prices offset by a decline in sales volumes pulp.

2. MAIN SOURCES OF FINANCING

Arauco’s financing needs are mainly covered through the capital markets, with bond issuances and credits with banks and financial institutions serving as the main sources of financing. For short-term borrowing, Arauco is regulated by its liquidity policy which indicates the amounts and institutions from which it can borrow according to several conditions defined in the policy. In the case of long-term debt, corporate bond issuances in the local market and also in international markets are used as sources of new resources. Another source of long-term financing to credit corresponds mainly with banks and financial institutions around the world.

3. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ECONOMIC VALUES AND BOOK ASSETS

Assets and liabilities are presented in the Financial Statements according to International Financial Reporting Standards and instructions issued by the Chilean Securities Commission.

We believe that there are no substantial differences between the economic value of our assets and the value reflected in these Financial Statements.

4. MARKET SITUATION

Pulp Division

The third quarter of 2014 was a stable period in terms of pulp prices in spite of the oversupply that began at the end of the second quarter due to the start-up of Montes del Plata and the low demand during the summer months in the Northern Hemisphere. Short fiber prices were in general stable, with changes only in some markets. Long fiber had a positive variation, but the price of unbleached long fiber had a strong fall. However, world inventory levels had important growth in these months, compared with the previous quarter. World inventories of long fiber reached 29 days (4 days higher than the second quarter of the year) and this quarter finished at 27 days. The increase in short fiber was larger than in long fiber, reaching a maximum of 46 days during the quarter. This quarter finished with an average of 40 days of inventory, the same level as in the second quarter.

In Asia short fiber prices remained without changes despite the increase in supply, even with chances of an increase at the end of the quarter. In long fiber, prices had a small increase, around 0.5 to 1.5% and a higher supply mainly due to new volume production. The price spread between long fiber and short fiber prices, remains approximately at US$ 140 per ton (higher in long fiber).

In Europe there was more volatility in prices. Long fiber increased 1.5% and short fiber decreased 2.5%. The decrease is mainly due to oversupply in a weakened market with high capacity in paper production, low consumption in printing and writing paper, and the effect of the summer season in Europe, higher than in other markets. Due to a significant increase in consumption during September, there are expectations of a positive trend in the last quarter.

In the North American market, the demand stabilized at good levels. The low demand of the industry of printing and writing paper was offset by the high demand in tissue, absorption and packaging industries. The fibercement (which demands unbleached long fiber pulp) market was still active and expansion programs remained as programmed. The rest of America stood at good levels of activity and demand too. The Alto Paraná mill in Argentina, which has sales mainly in Brazil and Argentina, continued to decrease its levels of inventories. Other Asian markets, like India, Indonesia and Japan, followed the trend of China with good levels of activity.

During this third quarter, production was at normal levels, the only exception was at the Nueva Aldea and Licancel mills due to their annual maintenance programs. Montes del Plata is still in its ramp-up process. During the third quarter, production reached more than 80% of capacity.

Sawn Timber Division

The real estate and construction sectors in the United States are still showing improvements. At the third quarter of 2014 the Housing Starts Index closed at 1,017,000 units per year, which represents an increase when compared with 893,000 units in the previous quarter. The expectation for the North American market toward the next months are moderate. The sales of wood product and finger joint moldings were in line with capacity and we continue to sell with stable prices. Current construction levels remain low when compared to the 10 year historical average.

Markets where Arauco sells continued with positive behavior during the third quarter. In general, there was higher demand and better prices compared with the two previous quarters.

In spite of the demand in China, the market has been affected by overstock of pine logs from New Zealand. Sales of the Company remained stable at very good levels. Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Australia, and Middle East showed good levels of activity, even achieving hikes in prices compared with the previous quarter.

Sales volume in the Chilean market has recovered during the third quarter after the adjustment of inventories from the main distributors in the country.

Panels Division

The most important issue during the third quarter in the panels division was the increase in sales volume of plywood, mainly due to an increase in production volume at the Nueva Aldea mill. Despite the new capacity coming from Nueva Aldea and the other new mills, we were able to maintain the same price levels in all export markets. In the Chilean market there has been more competition in low grades of plywood.

Sales volume of MDF in the third quarter began to increase compared with previous quarters after the expected increase in demand in Brazil and improvements in some states of the United States. Exports to Mexico remained at high levels. Despite this, total supply in North America, Brazil, Argentina and Chile was higher compared to domestic sales, therefore it has been necessary to export to markets with lower margins. MDF molding kept at expected levels, in spite of the increase in supply from imports and domestic production.

Particleboard was at good levels in sales volume of value-added products reached by our Teno mill, producing at its capacity design. Inventories from the supply chain reached historical average levels, especially from main distributors. This has helped to reach better margins for this category.

5. ANALYSIS OF CASH FLOW

The main components of net cash flow in each period are as follows:

ThU.S.$
    09-30-2013
ThU.S.$

Positive Net cash flow (negative)

     (313,708     98,589   
  

 

 

   

 

 

 

The financing cash flow has a positive balance of U.S.$157 million as of September 30, 2014, with differences with respect to the previous year (negative balance U.S. $104 million) mainly due to lower loan payments in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014.

In relation to the flow of investment at the end of the current period, there was a greater negative balance of U.S.$595 million (U.S.$516 million in 2013), mainly due to lower income from sales of property, plant, equipment and intangible assets and lower dividend income, offset by lower outlays for purchases of property, plant and equipment and biological assets.

6. MARKET RISK ANALYSIS

In respect of the economic risks resulting from interest rate variations, the Company maintains, as of September 30, 2014, a ratio of fixed rate debt to total consolidated debt of approximately 83.8%, 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 what it believes is 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 September 30, 2014, Note 23, a detailed analysis of the risks associated with the business of Arauco is available.

Period covered by the Financial Statements

Period between January 1 and September 30, 2014.

Date of Approval of Financial Statements

These interim consolidated financial statements for the period between January 1 and September 30, 2014 were authorized and approved for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) at the Extraordinary Session N° 516 held on November 14, 2014.

Initials used in this report:

IFRS - International Financial Reporting Standards

IASB - International Accounting Standards Board

IAS - International Accounting Standards

MU.S.$ - Millions of U.S. dollars

ThU.S.$ - Thousands of U.S. dollars

U.F. – Inflation index-linked units of account

EBITDA – Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization

ICMS – Tax movement of inventories and services (Brazil)

Functional and Presentation Currency

Arauco and most of its subsidiaries has determined the United States (“U.S.”) Dollar as its functional currency since majority of its revenues from sales of its products are from exports denominated in U.S. Dollars, while its costs of sales are to a large extent related or indexed to the U.S. Dollar.

For the pulp operating segment, most of the sales are exports denominated in U.S. Dollars, 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 (ThU.S.$).

The company Fondo de Inversión Bío Bío and its subsidiary Forestal Río Grande S.A. were consolidated into the financial statements of Arauco up to September 2013, due to the fact that up until that date these entities were in essence controlled by Arauco and they kept exclusive contracts with Arauco for timber supply, forward purchases of land and forest management.

Compliance and adoption of IFRS

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Arauco present in all material respects its financial position, its results of operations and its cash flows in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB, except as instructed in the Official Circular Letter No 856 of the superintendency of securities and insurance which provides in an exceptional form of accounting of changes in assets and liabilities for deferred tax caused by Law No. 20,780, published in the Official Journal on September 29, 2014.

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 to September 30, 2014 were prepared in accordance with Arauco’s accounting policies, which have been consistently applied to all periods presented in these interim consolidated financial statements, except as indicated in section “compliance and adoption of IFRS”.

 

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, except as indicated in section “compliance and adoption of IFRS”.

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for biological assets and certain financial instruments which are measured at revalued amounts or fair value at the end of each period as explained in the following significant accounting policies. Generally, historical cost is based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

 

b) Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the carrying

amounts reported. These 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 an asset acquisition, management values the acquired property, plant and equipment and their useful lives in consultation with third party experts.

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.

-Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using internal 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, based 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. Arauco estimates the value either based on appraisals and/or 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 proceedings. 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 litigation. For a description of current litigations see Note 18.

 

c) Consolidation

The interim consolidated financial statements include all entities over which Arauco has the power to direct the relevant financial and operating activities, 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 obtained and up to the date that control ceases.

Specifically, a company controls an investee if, and only if, they have all of the following:

(a) power over the investee, i.e. the investor has existing rights which give it the ability to direct the relevant activities (the activities that significantly affect the investee’s returns)

(b) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from involvement with the investee; and

(c) the ability to use power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns.

IFRS sets out requirements on how to apply the control principle:

(a) in circumstances when voting rights or similar rights give an investor power, including situations where the investor holds less than a majority of voting rights and in circumstances involving potential voting rights.

(b) in circumstances when an investee is designed so that voting rights are not the dominant factor in deciding who controls the investee, such as when any voting rights relate to administrative tasks only and the relevant activities are directed by means of contractual arrangements.

(c) in circumstances involving agency relationships.

(d) in circumstances when the investor has control over specified assets of an investee.

IFRS requires an investor to reassess whether it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control.

When preparing consolidated financial statements, an entity must use uniform accounting policies for reporting like transactions and other events in similar circumstances.

Intragroup balances and transactions must be eliminated. Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries must be presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, separately from the equity attributable to owners of the parent company.

The profit or loss of each component of other comprehensive income is attributed to owners of the parent company and the non-controlling interest, as appropriate. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the parent company and non-controlling interests even if the results of the non-controlling interest have a deficit balance.

If a subsidiary uses accounting policies different than those adopted in the consolidated financial statements for transactions and other events in similar circumstances, appropriate adjustments are made in the financial statements of subsidiaries to prepare consolidated financial statements to ensure compliance with Arauco’s accounting policies.

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

The interim consolidated financial statements at the end of this period include the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the subsidiaries shown in Note 13.

Certain consolidated subsidiaries have the 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).

 

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.

Based on the aforementioned process, the Company has 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 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 operations in functional currency different from Arauco´s 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 rate differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in Others reserves within -equity.

(iii) Foreign Currency Transactions

Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency 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 translated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined.

Profit or loss on transactions in currencies other than the functional currency resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, are recognized in the statement of income, except those which are recorded in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity such as cash flows hedging derivatives.

 

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 three months or less and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

 

g) Financial Instruments

Financial assets

Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: financial assets ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ (FVTPL), ‘held-to-maturity’ investments and ‘loans and receivables’. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

(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, or those designated as FVTPL. 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 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.

A financial asset is classified as held for trading if:

 

    it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or

 

    on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or

 

    it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument

A financial asset other than a financial asset held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:

 

    such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or

 

    the financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or

 

    it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and IAS 39 permits the entire combined contract to be designated as at FVTPL.

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 and Interest Rate 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 at each reporting date. 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) Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity dates that the Group has the intent and ability to hold to maturity. They are initially recorded at fair value and after initial recognition, held-to- maturity investments are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method less any impairment

 

(iii) 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.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities ‘at FVTPL’ or ‘other financial liabilities’ and are initially recorded at fair value.

(i) Financial liabilities at FVTPL

Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is either held for trading or it is designated as at FVTPL.

A financial liability is classified as held for trading if:

 

    it has been incurred principally for the purpose of repurchasing it in the near term; or

 

    on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or

 

    it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.

A financial liability other than a financial liability held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:

 

    such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or

 

    the financial liability forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or

 

    it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and IAS 39 permits the entire combined contract to be designated as at FVTPL.

Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability and is included in the Finance income or Finance costs line item in the consolidated statements of income.

(ii) Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities (including borrowings and trade and other payables) are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and amounts paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Financial obligations are classified as current liabilities, unless Arauco holds an unconditional right to defer their liquidation during at least 12 months after the balance sheet’s date.

The estimation of the reasonable value of the obligations with banks is determined by valuation techniques, using cash flows discounted applying rates in accordance to the risk of bank loans of a similar nature, while bonds are appraised at their market value.

 

h) Derivative financial instruments

(i) Financial Derivatives - The Group enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks, including foreign exchange forward contracts, interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps. The group’s policy is that all derivative contracts are hedging contracts.

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently re measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument under IAS 39, in which event the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship.

(ii) Embedded derivatives - The Company assesses the existence of embedded derivatives in financial instrument contracts. Derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts are treated as separate derivatives when they meet the definition of a derivative, their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the contracts are not measured at FVTPL. Arauco has determined that no embedded derivatives currently exist.

(iii) Hedge accounting - The Group designates certain hedging instruments as either fair value hedges or cash flow hedges.

At the inception of the hedge relationship, the entity documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, Arauco documents whether the hedging instrument is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk.

 

  Fair Value Hedges under IAS 39 - Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recognized in profit or loss immediately, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. The change in the fair value of the hedging instrument and the change in the hedged Item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in profit or loss in the line item relating to the hedged item.

 

  Cash flow hedges under IAS 39 - The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of cash flow hedging reserve. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit or loss, and is included in the Finance costs line item in the consolidated statement of income. Amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss, in the same line as the recognized hedged item. However, when the hedged forecast transaction results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, the gains and losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated In equity are transferred from equity and included in the initial measurement of the cost of the non-financial asset or non-financial liability.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the Group revokes the hedging relationship, when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. Any gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognized when the forecasted transaction is ultimately recognized in profit or loss. When a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

 

i) 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 works 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 written-down to their 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.

 

j) Non-current assets held for sale

The Group classifies certain property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, investments in associates and groups subject to expropriation (groups of assets to be sold together with their directly associated liabilities) as non-current assets held for sale which as of the closing date of the statement of financial position are the subject of active sale efforts and for which the completion is estimated to be highly probable.

These assets or groups subject to expropriation are valued at the lower of the carrying amount or the estimated retail value less the costs to carry out the sale, and are no longer amortized from the time they are classified as non-current assets held for sale.

 

k) Business Combinations

Arauco applies the acquisition method to account for a business combination. This method requires the identification of the acquirer, determination of the acquisition date, recognition and measurement of the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; and recognition and measurement of 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, except:

 

  deferred tax assets or liabilities, and assets or liabilities related to employee benefit arrangements are recognized and measured in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes and IAS 19 respectively;

 

  liabilities or equity instruments related to share-based payment arrangements of the acquire or share-based payment arrangements of the Group entered into to replace share-based payment arrangements of the acquire are measured in accordance with IFRS 2 at the acquisition date (see note 3.16.2); and

 

  assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with such standard.

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 statement of income.

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.

A parent will present non-controlling interests in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, separately from the equity of the owners of the parent company.

Changes in the ownership interest of a parent in its subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are treated as equity transactions. Any difference between the amount by which non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to owners of the parent company. No adjustment is made to the carrying amount of goodwill, neither gains or losses are recognized in the income statement.

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 initially be measured either at fair value or at the present ownership instruments’ proportionate share in the recognized amounts of the acquiree’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 change in participation of the profit or loss in the statement of income.

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 preliminary amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. During the measurement period (no more than one year), these preliminary 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.

Business combinations that are common control transactions are accounted using as a reference the pooling of interest. Under this method, assets and liabilities related to the transaction carries over the previous carrying values. Any difference between assets and liabilities included in the consolidation and the consideration transferred, is accounted in equity.

l) Investments in associates and joint arrangements

Associates are entities over which Arauco exercises significant influence, but not control. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.

Joint arrangement 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 joint arrangements are classified as a joint venture or as a joint operation. A joint operation is a joint arrangement in which the parties that have joint control of the arrangement (i.e. joint operators) have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. A joint venture is a joint arrangement in which the parties that have joint control of the arrangement (i.e., participants in a joint venture) have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.

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 rate differences on translation to the presentation currency) of the associate or joint venture. Dividends received are recognized by deducting the amount received from the carrying amount of the investment. Arauco’s investment in associates includes goodwill.

The investments in joint operations recognize the assets, liabilities and results of operations in relation to Arauco’s ownership percentage.

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.

Investments in associates and joint ventures 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.

 

m) Intangible assets

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

Amortization of an intangible asset with a finite useful life is allocated 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 and make them compatible with existing software. These costs are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the software.

(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 future cash flows. 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.

(iii) Customers and trade relations with customers

Correspond to the valuation over the time of the established relationship with customers, from the sale of products and services through its sales team. These relations will materialize in sales orders, which generate revenue and cost of sales. The useful life has been determined to be 15 years.

 

n) Goodwill

Goodwill generated in the acquisition of an entity is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration paid, 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.

The goodwill generated on acquisitions of foreign companies, is controlled in the functional currency of such foreign company.

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 in Brazil is related to the net exchange rate differences on translation.

 

o) 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 of assets are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, annually.

 

p) Leases

Arauco applies IFRIC 4 to assess whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease. Leases of assets in which Arauco substantially holds all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. All other leases are classified as operating 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.

 

q) Biological Assets

IAS 41 requires that biological assets, such as standing trees, are measured at fair value in the statement of financial position. Forestry plantations 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 forestry plantations 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 forestry plantations 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 forestry plantations that will be harvested in the short term.

Biological growth and changes in fair value of forestry plantations are recognized in the line item Other income in the consolidated statement of income.

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

 

r) Income tax expense and deferred income tax assets and liabilities.

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 does not give rise to deferred tax.

The deferred tax assets and tax credits 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.

 

s) 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.

 

t) Revenue recognition

Revenues are recognized when Arauco has transferred the risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer and Arauco has no right to dispose of the assets, nor effective control of those good.

 

(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 reliably estimated, revenue 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 services which are transacted principally in the spot market of the Sistema Interconectado Central (Central Interconnected 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) (Economic Load Dispatch Center of the Central Interconnected 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 and wood process and is a complementary business to it, which is initially supplied to the group’s subsidiaries and any surplus is sold to the CDEC-SIC.

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 consolidated financial statements.

 

u) 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” in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Dividends paid are not deductible for income tax purposes.

 

v) Earning per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net income for the period attributable to the parent company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, excluding the average number of shares in the Company held by a subsidiary, if such circumstance exists.

Arauco has not performed any type of transaction with a potential dilutive effect that would cause diluted earnings per share to be different from basic earnings per share.

 

w) 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.

Except for goodwill, 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 has 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. An allowance is made when the customer is a party to a bankruptcy court agreement or cessation of payments, and is 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.

 

x) 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 other comprehensive income in the year they are incurred.

Inventories recognized as cost of sales at September 30, 2014 were ThU.S.$2,661,390 (ThU.S.$2,670,204 at September 30, 2013).

In order to have the inventories recorded at net realizable value at September 30, 2014, there has been a net decrease of inventories associated with a higher provision of obsolescence ThU.S.$848 (lower provision ThU.S.$2,566 at September 30, 2013).

At September 30, 2014 there are write-offs inventory ThU.S.$1,359 (ThU.S.$1,724 at September 30, 2013)

The allowance of obsolescence is calculated based on the conditions of sale of products and age of inventory (inventory turnover).

No inventories have been pledged as security for liabilities at the end of each reporting period.

Agricultural Products

Agricultural Products are mainly forestry products that are intended for sale in the normal course of our operations and are measured at fair value less costs to sell at the point of harvest at the end of each reporting period Agricultural products are classified as raw materials within the line item inventories.

NOTE 5. 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. INCOME TAXES

The tax rates applicable in the countries in which Arauco operates are 21% in Chile, 35% in Argentina, 34% in Brazil, 25% in Uruguay and 34% in the United States (federal tax).

On September 29, 2014, Law No. 20,780 was published in the Official Gazette, introducing various amendments to the current regime of income tax and other taxes. Among the main amendments is the progressive increase of the First Category Income Tax for the 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and following fiscal years, increasing to 21%, 22.5%, 24%, 25.5% and 27% respectively, in the event that the partially integrated system applies. Alternatively, for the 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 and following fiscal years, an increase of 21%, 22.5%, 24%, and 25% respectively will apply, in the event that the Company chooses to apply the attributed income system.

On October 17, 2014, the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance issued the Official Circular Letter No. 856, which established that the difference in assets and liabilities for deferred taxes resulting from the increase of the aforementioned tax rate, should be accounted for by charging it against equity. Therefore, as of the close these interim consolidated financial statements, Arauco has recognized a charge to equity of ThU.S.$291,363 resulting from a deferred effect of the new tax rate.

Certain subsidiaries of Arauco, as of the date of these financial statements, show tax losses for which we estimate that, given the projection of future profits, will allow for the recovery of these assets. The total amount of these tax losses is ThU.S.$150,967 (ThU.S.$165,393 at December 31, 2013), which are mainly originated by operational and financial losses.

Total Deferred Tax Liabilities

     1,767,819         1,462,295   

The effect of changes in current and deferred tax liabilities related to cash flow hedges corresponds to a charge of ThU.S.$2,015 as of September 30, 2014 (charge of ThU.S.$6,747 as of September 30, 2013), which is presented in Reserves for cash flow hedges in the consolidated statement of changes in equity.

The deferred tax assets and liabilities expected to be recovered and settled in less than twelve months amounts to ThU.S.$23,326 and ThU.S.$116,977, respectively.

Arauco does not offset deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities since there is no legal enforceable right to offset amounts recognized in these items that relate to different tax jurisdictions.

Merger of forest companies

For the purpose of continuing to optimize processes and adopt the best practices within the Forestry Business’s operations, companies were integrated through a gradual process of mergers. Said task began with the integration of companies Bosques Arauco S.A. and Forestal Valdivia S.A. which with the prior approval of their respective shareholders, merged as of July 1, 2013, operating under the name Forestal Valdivia S.A.

On that same date, Forestal Arauco S.A. was split-off, creating a new entity called Forestal Viñales S.A., to which shares in Forestal Celco S.A. were contributed.

As of September 1, 2013, Forestal Arauco S.A. merged and absorbed Forestal Valdivia S.A., a transaction which generated a tax gain (Income Tax Act, Article 31, No. 9), of ThU.S.$99,437, and resulted in a deferred tax asset of ThU.S.$ 19,887 (See Note 6).

On November 1, 2013, Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A. absorbed Forestal Viñales S.A., generating, as a result of the transaction, a capital increase of MU.S.$442 equal to 7,209 shares, corresponding to Empresas Copec S.A.’s participation.

On December 1 of 2013, the new Forestal Arauco S.A. was merged with Forestal Celco S.A., thus resulting in most of Arauco’s foresty assets to be grouped under a single entity. With this merger the unification process for Chile’s main forestry companies was concluded.

This restructuring has been registered as an under common control transaction. (See Note 1K)

Investments

On March 27, 2014, the company Servicios Aereos Forestales Ltda was established with contributions to pay Inversiones Arauco Internacional Ltda ThU.S.$ 25,997.4 and Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A. ThU.S.$ 2.6. This company’s main objective is the provision of air transportation services for passengers and cargo, forest patrol, photography, advertising, magnetic survey, all by its own and others aircraft and perform maintenance of aeronautical products.

On January 1, 2013, the company Arauco Panels Canada ULC merged with its subsidiary Flakeboard Company Ltd. This operation had no effect on the results of the company.

Arauco carried out the initial recording of the acquisition of Flakeboard Company Limited in 2012 based on the information that was available as of that date and performing a preliminary determination of the allocation of the fair value in this Company’s acquisition. As of the closing of September 2013, the determination of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was concluded and resulted in the final allocation being retroactively applied in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2012, in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 3.

NOTE 16. INTERESTS IN JOINT ARRANGEMENTS

Investments and contributions made

As of September 30, 2014, Arauco, through its subsidiary Arauco Holanda Cooperatief U.A, made capital contributions for a total of ThU.S.$16,427 (ThU.S.$103,196 as of December 31, 2013) to two Uruguayan joint arrangements in order to maintain its 50% of ownership in Celulosa y Energía Punta Pereira S.A. and Zona Franca Punta Pereira S.A. This transaction had no effect on the consolidated statement of income.

Celulosa y Energía 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 was 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 is located at the town of Punta Pereira, Province of Colonia, Uruguay.

As of the closing of these financial statements, Arauco has committed to “Montes del Plata” in capital contributions 8.9 million Euros (equivalent to U.S.$11,2 million) and U.S.$140 million in loans.

Investments in Uruguay are joint operations because of existing contracts that stipulate that both Arauco and Stora Enso maintain joint control of such investments, and since there is a contractual commitment of the sale of the entire pulp production to be generated from the future plant to Arauco and Stora Enso in the proportion of each entity’s 50% ownership interest. Arauco has recognized the assets, liabilities, income and expenses relating to its ownership percentage from January 1, 2012, in accordance with IFRS11.

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.

NOTE 17. IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS

In the period 2014, there are no provisions for impairment associated cash generating units to inform.

Disclosure of Impairment Losses of Assets

Provisions for impairment of property, plant and equipment due to technical obsolescence have been recorded as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 respectively, as shown below:

Information relevant to the sum of all impairment    ThU.S.$ 4,793    ThU.S.$ 5,386

Goodwill

Goodwill is allocated to the groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

At the date of these financial statements, the balance of Goodwill is ThU.S.$ 85,985 (ThU.S.$ 88,141, at December 31, 2013), of which ThU.S.$ 40,109 was mainly generated by the acquisition of “Flakeboard” (see Note 14) and ThU.S.$ 43,062 (ThU.S.$ 45,055 at December 31, 2013) by the investment in Arauco do Brasil S.A. Both values were assigned to the panel segment.

The goodwill generated by the investment in Arauco do Brasil S.A. was allocated to the 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.

The change in the balance of goodwill is due solely to the exchange difference on foreign currency translation. Therefore, there has been no increase in the provision of impairment.

NOTE 18. PROVISIONS, CONTINGENT ASSETS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

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

Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A.

1. On April 27, 2005, the National Defense Council (Consejo de Defensa del Estado) filed a civil lawsuit against Celulosa Arauco y Constitución 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).

On July 27, 2013, the first definitive ruling was issued in favor of the claim, with court expenses mainly ordering that the Company execute (at its own cost) the following measures in order to preserve the Nature Sanctuary:

 

  1) To perform a study of the current status of the Wetland, through an interdisciplinary team comprised of various experts in the fields of biology, chemistry and physics, for which it must create an independent committee in which the parties participate, for a term that shall not exceed one year. The studies shall include the status of water and the Wetland’s flora and fauna.

 

  2) The creation of an artificial wetland, as a sentinel controlled environment, with representative species of the Río Cruces wetland, which receive the first impact of the discharge of riles, which shall be located immediately after the tertiary treatment and before their discharge into the Río Cruces.

 

  3) The performance of a continuous environmental monitoring program by the Company, for a period that shall not be less than 5 years, and shall be conducted pursuant to the environmental assessment conditions set forth in RCA 279/98 and its subsequent amendments.

 

  4) The creation of a Wetlands Investigation Center, pursuant to what was proposed by the Company.

 

  5) Community development programs related to the Wetland in the manner that was proposed by the Company.

With regard to monetary damages, the ruling ordered the Company to pay in the compliance stage, however the form and amount of the payments were not determined.

The ruling was communicated to the Company on August 9, 2013. After a thorough analysis of the ruling, Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A. decided not to appeal. This decision was made as it would allow the creation of the conditions for commencing the implementation of the measures in favor of the Wetland, without waiting for further judicial terms.

Currently, the decision is binding and conclusive, and all personal and court expenses have been paid.

With regard to damages, the State Defense Council and the Company reached an agreement on the amount thereof, which equalled $2,600 million Chilean pesos, payable to the State in April 2014.

The referred amount would be in addition to the $2,600 million Chilean pesos (ThU.S.$ 4,956) that the Company has committed to and will spend to finance the implementation of the community development programs ordered by the decision, which shall be to the benefit of the community.

On April 7, 2014 the parties notified the Court of this agreement, which was approved by the Court on April 8, 2014.

The amount of $5,200 million Chilean pesos (ThU.S.$9,408 as of September 30, 2014) corresponding to the sum indicated in the preceding paragraphs, is recognized in the financial statements of Arauco at end of 2013.

Arauco, the State Defense Council and an interdisciplinary committee are working on the measures to preserve the Nature Sanctuary listed in points 1) to 4). While the form to carry out the measures is finalized, the associated costs will be determined and will be disbursed gradually beginning in 2014.

The State Defense Council requested that the decision be summarily enforced. On September 11, 2014, Arauco informed the Court about the ruling’s current enforcement status, specifically regarding the five first measures ordered by the final decision’s operative section. On September 12, 2014, the Court took under consideration the information presented by Arauco and, consequently, Arauco must inform about the progress status on a quarterly basis.

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. This case is currently pending.

3. On June 22, 2011, the Company 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. The case arose out of dead fish allegedly found in the Mataquito River on June 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, pain and suffering and an alleged contractual liability. The probationary period was finished, and only letters addressed to several authorities need to be answered.

4. On December 20, 2012, the Company was notified of a 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 river 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 in the preliminary stage of evidence gathering, 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. (hereafter “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 $417,908,207 Argentine Pesos including capital (ThU.S.$ 49,574 at September 30, 2014), 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 $5,886,053 Argentine Pesos (ThU.S.$ 698 at September 30, 2014).

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 surety 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.$ 75,162 as of September 30, 2014), 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 1, 2013, APSA received notice of the decision dated December 28, 2012, whereby the First 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. On May 27, 2013, the file was forwarded to the Supreme Court of Justice of the Country. On June 3, 2013, APSA was notified of the procedural ruling issued by the High Court on May 29, 2013, declaring that the Ordinary Appeal had been duly received. On June 17, 2013, APSA submitted a duly founded presentation in connection with the Appeal, which the Court subsequently ordered to be transferred to AFIP, a circumstance of which the Company was notified on June 28, 2013.

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.

(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 $10,447,705 Argentine Pesos (ThU.S.$ 1,239 at September 30, 2014) 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 alternatively, rejected it on the grounds that the requested amount was unreasonable. APSA provided evidence that it had paid $1,634,914 Argentine Pesos (ThU.S.$ 194 at September 30, 2014), considering that this was the actual amount due, pursuant to Law, for the Tasa de Actuación (Litigation Fee). On April 13, 2010, the First Chamber of the CACAF denied APSA’s appeal. On April 26, 2010 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 8, 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 First Chamber of the National Appeals Court of Contentious Administrative Matters. On June 15, 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 25, 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. By way of Resolutions Nos. 952/2000 and 83/03, and within the context of the provisions of Law No. 25,080, the former Secretary for Agriculture, Ranching, Fishing and Foods approved the projects submitted by Alto Paraná S.A. to build an MDF plant (boards) and a sawmill, along with the forestation of several hectares for supplying said industries.

In March of 2005, by way of Note No. 145/05, issued by the Undersecretary for Agriculture, Ranching and Forestation, the exemption to pay exportation duties granted to Alto Paraná S.A. was suspended, as were the exemptions granted to all other companies benefited by this system under Law No. 25,080, a suspension which was implemented as a preventive measure, invoking the need to review the proceedings conducted in the respective case files. After the exhaustion of the administrative procedures, the measure is being argued by the Company before the courts. In said context, on November 8, 2006, the V Chamber of the National Appeals Court for Adversarial Administrative and Federal Matters issued a ruling ordering Alto Paraná S.A. to continue to enjoy an exemption from paying the exportation duties, provided that it guarantee said duties by taking out warranty insurance. The judicial measure became effective beginning on March of 2007 by collateralization through the granting of bond (caución) policies for each shipment permits exempted from payment of export duty. Notwithstanding this ruling, the issuance of the ruling on the substantial issues of the matter is still pending. The Company maintains an assignment of funds equivalent to ThU.S.$20,762 in connection to the aforementioned export duties, which is shown under not current provisions.

The export duties paid by the Company while the benefit was suspended were allocated to the results of each financial year. As of this date, the Company has submitted a claim against the National Government demanding the return of ThU.S.$6,555, plus interest accrued as from the serving of process of said claim, amount which corresponds to the Export Duties paid between March of 2005 and March of 2007 as a result of the benefit’s suspension.

In turn, during April of year 2005, the Secretary for Agriculture, Ranching, Fishing and Foods issued resolution No. 260/2005, requiring that holders of any firms that had received the fiscal benefits granted under Law No. 25,080 should establish guarantees to cover the total amount of any such benefits, considering for such purposes all benefits that had been enjoyed until the date of their establishment. APSA then proceeded to establish the required guarantees, which - as of the date of these financial statements - amount to $136,406,620 (equivalent to ThU.S.$16,181 at September 30, 2014).

APSA believes that it has complied with all of the obligations imposed upon it by the system set forth under Law No. 25,080.

3. On November 28, 2008, Alto Paraná S.A. 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, 16th Secretariat.

On October 2, 2014, a judgment was issued declaring the case extinguished by prescription, therefore the case has been finished.

4. On December 6, 2013, Alto Paraná S.A. was served upon Resolution 803 issued by the Central Bank of the Republic of Argentina (BCRA) on November 22, 2013. By means of such resolution, the BCRA initiated Investigation No. 5581, whereby it is sought to determine the absence of currency inflow and liquidation, and the delayed inflow of currency arising from export operations.

On March 6, 2014, the BCRA notified APSA that it had received the APSA’s response and was opening the case for the presentation of evidence. On June 18, 2014 the BCRA notified the company of the closure of the trial period. On June 26, 2014 APSA presented its answer.

As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, in the opinion of the Company´s legal advisors, the likelihood in obtaining a favorable outcome (that is to say, no fines imposed) is high, given the solid defense arguments raised by APSA and the judicial background related to infractions of a similar nature.

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 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.

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.

3. On September 26, 2005, in proceedings numbered 48,679-2006 of the Civil Court of Constitución, Forestal Celco S.A., now Forestal Arauco S.A., submitted a claim against Forestal Constitución Ltda. and Ms Vitelia Morán Sepúlveda and other 7 natural persons, with the goal of obtaining a ruling that acknowledges its sole ownership over the Lierecillo estate (1,126 hectares), formed by various property registrations, also seeking that the defendants be sentenced to jointly and severally pay $20,000,000 as well as a damage compensation for having harvested a portion of the aforementioned estate. On April 23, 2006, Mr. Adolfo Numi Velasco, acting on behalf of all the aforementioned natural persons, answered the claim requesting its rejection, arguing that his clients are the sole owners of the estate named “Lierencillo” which they call “El Macaco”, also submitting a counterclaim with the purpose of demanding that Forestal Celco S.A. return such estate, of 162.7 hectares, plus a damage compensation for the resulting damages, loss of profit and moral damage.

That application was lodged with the Civil Court of Loncoche, Docket Number 79-2012, and the lawsuit demanded the recovery and restitution of two estates, with their products and improvements, arguing that the aforementioned estate is the sole and exclusive owner of two real estate properties whose total surface amounts to 1,210 hectares and are allegedly occupied by Forestal Valdivia S.A. On March 13 of 2014, the Court issued a first instance ruling rejecting the claim.

On October 28, 2009, the plaintiff requested the execution of the ruling with notice to the defendant, in addition to compensation for the alleged moral harm personally experienced by her. After being notified of the request, Bosques Arauco S.A., in turn, requested that this request be nullified on the grounds that the alleged harm and suffering was not part of the judicial proceedings and that therefore was not part of the final judgment. This application has not yet been resolved by the court.

On July 10, 2013 Bosques Arauco S.A. appropriated the amount sued for in property damages and on July 15, 2013, the Court recorded that appropriation.

10. In 1999, Bosques Arauco S.A., now Forestal Arauco S.A., was notified of a property recovery claim filed by Ms. Silvia Aurora Escalona Fernández, Mr. Nazario Israel Escalona Fernández and Mr. Carlos Alfonso Escalona Fernández, who demanded the restitution of a portion of land equal to 426.93 hectares located within a larger rural property named Cerro Alto y Las Ánimas, located in the borough of Los Álamos, with a total surface of 505.27 hectares. The claimants have reserved their right to discuss damages for deterioration and products for a later stage in the trial. The claim ultimately requested the court to declare that the claimants are the exclusive and lawful owners of the land named Cerro Alto y Las Ánimas in its entire surface, and, in lieu thereof, in the area determined by the court. The claim was filed before the Civil Court of Lebu, under Case File Number C-16,073-1999. On April 29, 2013, the Court issued its decision wholly dismissing the claim. On June 21, 2013, the claimant appealed the judgment by way of an ordinary appeal and a cassation appeal on formal grounds. (Court of Appeals of Concepción. Court Case File No. 1.229-2013).

On August 18, 2014, the Court of Appeals rejected the remedies and cassation appeal submitted by the plaintiff. The applicant did not challenge the ruling of the Court of Appeals, and consequently the judgment that completely rejected the lawsuit, is firm and enforceable. Case finished.

11. On October 8, 2013, Bosques Arauco S.A., now Forestal Arauco S.A. was notified of a civil claim filed by Mr. Manuel Antonio Fren Casanova, requesting the court to declare the properties known as Cuyinco and Cuyinco Alto as two different properties and, therefore, to order the cancellation of the ownership registration in the name of Bosques Arauco S.A. found on N° 290 of page 266 of the Registry of Property kept by the Real Estate Registrar of Cuyinco Alto, on the grounds that, Bosques Arauco S.A. erroneously understood that its property, Cuyinco Alto of 4,600 hectares, would also encompass the land known as Cuyinco, which allegedly belongs to the claimant.

The claim was filed before the Civil Court of Lebu (Case File No. C-269-2013). On November 21, 2013, the claim was answered. The case is in a probationary state. Pending.

12. On December 21, 2013, Forestal Arauco S.A. was served with an ordinary damages claim based on tort liability, brought by Mr. Eduardo Alberto Contreras Lagos on behalf of Mrs. Olga Albina Gajardo Ortéga, her spouse Mr. Jorge Leonidas Machuca Vilugrón and their sons, Johnatan David Machuca Gajardo, Walter Eduardo Machuca Gajardo, and Brian Esteban Machuca Gajardo, before the First Civil Court of Arauco (Case Docket No. C-500-2013). The plaintiffs demand physical and moral damages arising from the fall of a 20 meter-high tree, which allegedly fell on the defendants’ vehicle when they were travelling through Route 160 towards Larquete in the Eighth Region, which took place on January 3,

Inversiones Arauco Internacional Ltda.

1. On May 5, 2011, the Chilean Internal Revenue Service (“Chilean IRS”) issued liquidations N° 7 and 8 to Inversiones Arauco Internacional Ltda., objecting the reasonableness and necessity that a compensation payment made by the Company under the framework of partnership and participation in Forestal Cono Sur S.A. of Uruguay, is regarded as a deductible expense.

On May 4, 2012, the Company presented a claim to the Tax Court against liquidations No. 7 and 8. The Inspector issued a report. The Company submitted observations to the report of the Inspector. On April 30, 2014, an order to produce evidence was reported. On May 7, 2014, the Company filed an administrative appeal against the order to produce evidence. Pending resolution.

Celulosa y Energía Punta Pereira S.A. (joint arrangement)

In May of 2014, Celulosa y Energía Punta Pereira (CEPP), a company belonging to the Montes del Plata Group - a joint arrangement between Arauco and Stora Enso - was notified of the commencement of a series of arbitral proceedings against it, all lodged before the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) by Andritz Pulp Technologies Punta Pereira S.A., a subsidiary of Andritz AG, claiming a total of approximately € 200 million.

These arbitration proceedings are related to the contracts for the delivery, construction, installation, commissioning and completion - by Andritz - of the main components of the Project for the Montes del Plata Cellulose Plant, located in Punta Pereira, Uruguay.

CEPP has powerful arguments for requesting the dismissal of the aforementioned claims and, in turn, has filed a counterclaim against Andritz based on the latter’s breach of its contractual obligations, requesting a sum of approximately US$110 million (approximately € 60 million).

These arbitral proceedings are currently in the stage of arranging the terms of reference which will govern the arbitration.

As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, it is the opinion of Montes del Plata’s legal counsel that the probabilities of CEPP needing to make expenditures as a result of this arbitration are low.

Consequently, neither CEPP, nor Arauco, have made any provisions of funds on account of these proceedings.

At the end of each reporting period there are no other contingencies that might significantly affect the Company’s financial, position or results of operations.

NOTE 20. BIOLOGICAL ASSETS

Biological assets comprise forestry plantations, mainly radiata and taeda pine, and to a lower extent of eucalyptus. The plantations are located in Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay, with a total surface of 1.6 million hectares, out of which 998 million hectares are used for forestry planting, 396 thousand hectares are native forest, 185 thousand hectares are used for other purposes and 68 thousand hectares not yet planted.

As of September 30, 2014, the production volume of logs totaled 14.8 million cubic meters (15.2 million cubic meters as of September 30, 2013).

Measurements of fair value of Arauco’s biological assets are classified as Level 3, due to the fact that inputs are not observable. However, this information reflects the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset, including assumptions about risk.

These unobservable inputs were developed using the best information available and includes own information of Arauco. These unobservable inputs can be adjusted if the available information indicates that other market participants would use different information or there is something specific in Arauco that is not available to other market participants.

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 forestry plantations are projected based on a net decrease total volume, with a minimum growth equivalent to the current supply demand.

 

  Future plantations are not considered.

 

  The harvest of forestry plantations supplies raw materials for all other products that Arauco produces and sells. By directly controlling the development of forests that will be processed, Arauco ensures 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 consolidated statement of income. Changes in fair value of biological assets were ThU.S.$200,478 at September 30, 2014 (ThU.S.$202,604 at September 30, 2013). As a result of measuring biological assets at its fair value a higher cost of sales of ThU.S.$164,670 at September 30, 2014 (ThU.S.$169,656 at September 30, 2013).

 

  Forestry plantations are harvested according to the needs of Arauco’s production plants.

 

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

 

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

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

Forestry plantations 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 forestry plantations, which in conjunction with Company resources and efficient protection measures for these forestry assets allow financial and operational risks to be minimized.

Uruguay

From 2013, in accordance with IFRS11, Arauco recognizes the assets, liabilities; income and expenses relating to their ownership percentage (see Note 16).

NOTE 21. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

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.

Property, plant and equipment related to these facilities were classified held for sale. As of September 30, 2014, Arauco has made sales of these units and remains committed to its plan to sell these assets, although the completion of these sales have been delayed more than expected as the Company is seeking for more favorable offers.

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 using market variables that are observable at the date of the financial statements.

The fair value of bonds issued was determined with reference to quoted market prices as they have standard terms and conditions and are 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 September 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013.

Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value through Profit or Loss (Held for Trading)

Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. Financial assets classified in this category are mainly acquired for sale in the short term. Derivatives are also classified as trading unless they are designated and effective as hedging instruments. Assets in this category are classified as current assets and are recorded at fair value with changes in value recognized in profit or loss. These financial assets are held with the objective of maintaining adequate liquidity levels to meet Arauco’s obligations.

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.

The table below sets forth summarized information of the fair value of the hedging instruments for exchange rate as of September 30, 2014:

In the consolidated statements of financial position they are included in line items “Cash and cash equivalents” (certain components of cash and cash equivalents), “Trade and Other Current/Non-Current Receivables” and “Accounts receivable from related parties”.

Loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method and are tested for impairment. Financial assets that are classified as loans and receivables are: cash and cash-equivalents, time deposits, repurchase agreements, trade and other current/non-current receivables, and account receivables from related parties.

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, in which Arauco owns a non-controlling interest in the ownership of the counterparty.

Fair Value Hierarchy of Financial Assets and Liabilities

The assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated statements of financial position as of September 30, 2014, 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).

To discount the future cash flows, the zero coupon discount rate for UF and U.S. is utilized. In each case, price quotes from Bloomberg are used.

Risk Management

Arauco’s financial instruments are exposed to various financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (including exchange rate risks, interest rate risks and price risks). Arauco’s overall risk management program focuses on uncertainty in financial markets and aims to minimize potential adverse effects on Arauco’s financial profitability.

Arauco’s financial risk management is overseen by the Finance Department. This department identifies, assesses and hedges financial risks in close collaboration with Arauco’s operational units.

Credit Risk

Description

Credit risk refers to financial uncertainty at different periods of time relating to the fulfillment of obligations with counterparties, at the time of exercising the contract rights to receive cash or other financial assets on behalf of Arauco.

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.,

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, in 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 September 30, 2014, 93.86% are current (i.e. non-past due), 1.83% are between 1 and 30 days past due, 0.57% are between 30 and 60 days past due, 0.22% are between 61 and 90 days past due, 0.09% are between 91 and 120 days past due, 0.04% are between 121 and 150 days past due, 0.02% are between 151 and 180 days past due, 0.01% are between 180 and 210 days past due, 0.03% are between 211 and 250 days past due, and 3.34% are more than 250 days past due.

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 May 2013, 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 intermediaries (such as banks, securities brokers and broker/dealers of mutual funds), a scoring methodology is used to determine the relative degree of risk of each intermediary based on their financial position and assign 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 +/- 2.1% (equivalent to ThU.S.$ +/- 9,282), and +/- 0.08% of assets (equivalent to ThU.S.$ +/- 5.569).

The main financial instrument subject to the risk in exchange rate as of December 2013 corresponded to domestic bonds issued denominated in UF and that were not hedged with cross currency swaps described in the hedge accounting disclosures. As of September 30, 2014 these bonds are covered by foreign exchange swap.

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 +/- 0.08% (equivalent to ThU.S.$354) and a change on the equity of +/- 0.01% (equivalent to ThU.S.$354).

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 September 30, 2014, 16.2% 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.$+/- 79) and +/- 0.001% (equivalent to ThU.S.$+/- 47) on equity.

Market Risk – Price of Pulp Risks

Description

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 September 30, 2014, revenue due to pulp sales accounted for 40% 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 +/- 3.8% (equivalent to U.S.$49 million), on the income after tax and +/- 8.2% (equivalent to U.S.$39 million) and +/- 0.4% (equivalent to U.S.$27 million) on equity.

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 3.9 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. It consists of 17 industrial plants: 5 in Chile, 2 in Argentina, 2 in Brazil, and 8 plants around USA and Canada. The Company has a total annual production capacity of 6.6 million cubic meters of PBO, MDF, Hardboards, plywood and moldings.

Sawn Timber

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.

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, Brazil and Uruguay, reaching 1.6 million hectares, of which 998 million hectares are used for plantations, 396 thousand hectares for native forests, 185 thousand hectares for other uses and 68 thousand hectares are to be planted. Arauco’s principal plantations consist of radiata and taeda pine and eucalyptus to a lesser degree. These are species that have fast growth rates and short harvest cycles compared with other long fiber commercial woods.

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 net gains/(losses) 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 distributable 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.

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

The following table details the adjustments made for the determination of distributable net income as of September 30, 2014 and 2013 in order to determine the provision of 40% of the distributable net income for each year:

     316,941   

The Company expects to maintain its policy of distributing 40% of its net distributable income as dividends for all future fiscal years, but will also consider the alternative of distributing a provisional dividend at year end.

The line “Other current non-financial liabilities” included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2014 in the amount of ThU.S.$171,230, represents a total of ThU.S.$123,614, which corresponds to the provision of minimum dividend recorded for the period 2014 to the parent company.

NOTE 27. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

1) On January 14, 2014, the Company informed through a “Material Fact” that Flakeboard America Limited, a subsidiary of Arauco, had signed an asset purchase agreement with the U.S. company named SierraPine for the acquisition of three industrial panel mills located in the United States of America (states of California and Oregon) for a purchase price of US$107 million, plus a variable amount of up to US$13 million in inventories.

The above-mentioned “Material Fact” also indicated that the closing of the transaction contemplated by such asset purchase agreement was subject to certain conditions precedent. Among those conditions was the approval of the proposed transaction by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ).

On October 1, 2014 the Company, jointly with SierraPine, took the decision to withdraw the application previously filed with the DOJ due to certain objections by the DOJ with respect to the proposed transaction. By virtue of the above, the Company and SierraPine have voluntarily agreed to terminate such asset purchase agreement.

Arauco believes that the above-referenced situation will have no material effects on its consolidated financial condition or results of operation.

2) On September 29, 2014, Law No. 20,780 was published in the Official Gazette, introducing various amendments to the current regime of income tax and other taxes. Among the main amendments is the progressive increase of the First Category Income Tax for the 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and following fiscal years, increasing to 21%, 22.5%, 24%, 25.5% and 27% respectively, in the event that the partially integrated system applies. Alternatively, for the 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 and following fiscal years, an increase of 21%, 22.5%, 24%, and 25% respectively will apply, in the event that the Company chooses to apply the attributed income system.

In accordance with the same Law, in the case of Arauco, the general rule is the applicability of the partially integrated system, unless a subsequent Shareholders Meeting of the Company agrees to apply the attributed income system.

However, through Official Circular Letter No. 856, dated October 17, the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance established that the difference in assets and liabilities for deferred taxes resulting from the increase of the aforementioned tax rate should be accounted for by charging it to the net worth.

The effect in deferred taxes as a result of the increase of the first category tax rate shall not impact the result or the determination of the Company’s distributable net profit, but rather will result in a direct charge to the net worth of US$291,363,000, which was included in the Financial Statements as of September 30, 2014.

Finally, it is relevant to mention that the criterion imposed in the aforementioned Official Circular Letter is applicable only to the Financial Statements that must be submitted to the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance in Chile. The criteria ordered by Official Circular Letter No. 856 will not apply to the Financial Statements that must be submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of the United States of America.

3) The authorization for the issuance and publication of these Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the period between January 1 and September 30, 2014 was approved by the Board of Directors of Arauco at the Extraordinary Session No. 516 held on November 14, 2014.

Subsequent to September 30, 2014, and until the date of issuance of these financial statements, there have been no events, other than those discussed above, that could materially affect the presentation of these financial statements.

Revenues

Arauco’s consolidated sales for the third quarter of 2014 reached US$ 1,348.6 million, 1.9% lower than the US$ 1,374.6 million obtained during the second quarter of 2014. The main variances during this quarter were:

 

QoQ    Net Sales     Price     Volume  

Pulp

     -5.7     -2.6     -1.5

Panels

     5.9     -2.3     10.9

Sawn Timber

     -3.5     2.8     -3.4

Sales volume from our Panels segment increased 10.9% QoQ which is mainly explained by higher sales in Brazil, which increased 30.3% as a result of an improvement in market conditions.

Compared to the US$ 1,333.2 million obtained in the third quarter of 2013, consolidated sales were 1.2% higher, mainly explained by a 16.4% increase in sales of our sawn timber business, partially offset by a 1.4% decrease in total sales of our pulp business and 2.6% decrease in our panels sales.

Production

During the third quarter of 2014, our Pulp production was 867 thousand Adt, a 12.7% increase compared to the 769 thousand Adt produced in the previous quarter. This was mainly due to the new production coming from our Montes del Plata Mill, which began its start-up process during June of this year. Production volume in our panels division was to 1,372 thousand m3, 11.3% or 140 thousand m3 higher than the previous quarter, mainly due to lower production levels in Brazil in the previous quarter. The production volume from our Sawn timber division remained stable, with a 0.3% increase or 2 thousand m3, compared to the 725 thousand m3 in the previous quarter.

Compared to the third quarter of 2013, production volume increased 6.1% in our pulp division, our panel’s production increased 3.0% and our sawn timber production decreased 0.8%.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2014 was US$ 305.3 million, 0.9% or US$ 2.7 million lower than the US$ 308.0 million reached during the previous quarter. In terms of Adjusted EBITDA by business, during the third quarter of the year we had a decrease in our Pulp and Sawn Timber divisions of 21.5% and 2.2% respectively, partially offset by a 23.1% and 11.9% increase in our Panels and Forestry division respectively. The drop in EBITDA from our Pulp business is mainly caused by a US$ 34.3 million decrease in total sales. The increase in EBITDA of Panels is due to improved results in Brazilian market compared with the previous quarter.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2014 was lower by 5.9% or US$ 19.2 million when compared with the US$ 324.4 million reached in the same period of 2013.

Operating Income

Arauco’s operating income during the third quarter of the year reached US$ 129.8 million, a decrease of 18.4% or US$ 29.3 million compared to the US$ 159.1 million obtained during the second quarter of 2014. Our revenue decreased 1.9% or US$ 26 million, and the cost of sales increased 1.3% or US$ 12.1 million. Distribution costs increased in 1.7% or US$ 2.4 million and administrative expenses decreased in 7.6% or US$ 11.2 million.

In terms of unitary costs, during the third quarter of the year we had a decrease in unitary cost of sales for bleached softwood pulp and an increase for bleached hardwood pulp of 2.9% and 0.9% respectively, when compared to the second quarter of 2014. We do not consider in this comparison Montes del Plata, because it continues in its ramp-up process, so cost figures are not yet comparable.

During the third quarter of 2014, Arauco’s operating income was 8.8% or US$ 12.6 million lower than the US$ 142.4 million reached in the same quarter of 2013. This is mainly due to an increase in Selling and administrative expenses of 4.2% or US$ 11.1 million.

Net Income

Net income for the third quarter of 2014 was US$ 90.4 million, a decrease of 28.9% or US$ 36.8 million compared to the US$ 127.2 million obtained in the second quarter of the year. This is mainly explained by a decrease in Operating income of 18.4% or US$ 29.3 million, which dropped due to a decrease in sales of pulp and sawn timber and higher costs of forestry. Non-Operating Income decreased US$12.4 million, mainly explained by an Exchange Difference Loss of US$13.1 million recorded this third quarter. The decrease in Net Income was partially offset by a decrease in Income Tax of 13.7% or US$ 5.0 million.

Consolidated net income in the third quarter of 2014 was 23.5% or US$ 27.8 million lower the same period on 2013, where we had US$ 118.2 million. This is mainly explained by a decrease of 13.7% or US$12.4 million in Other Income with the increase in earning by fixed assets sold.

REVIEW BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

1- Pulp Division

The third quarter of 2014 was a stable period in terms of pulp prices in spite of the oversupply that begun at the end of the second quarter due to the start-up of Montes del Plata and the low demand during the months of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. Short fiber prices were in general stable, only with changes in some markets. Long fiber had a positive variation, but the price of unbleached long fiber had a strong fall. However, world inventory levels had an important growth in these months, compared with the previous quarter. World inventories of long fiber reached 29 days (4 days higher than the second quarter of the year) and this quarter finished at 27 days. The increase in short fiber was larger than in long fiber, reaching a maximum of 46 days during the quarter. This quarter finished with an average of 40 days of inventory, the same level than the second quarter.

In Asia short fiber prices remained without changes despite of the increase in supply, even with chances of an increase at the end of the quarter. In long fiber, prices had a small increase, around 0.5 to 1.5% and a higher supply mainly due to new volume production. The price spread between long fiber and short fiber prices, remains approximately at US$ 140 per ton (higher in long fiber).

In Europe there was more volatility in prices. Long fiber increased 1.5% and short fiber decreased 2.5%. The decrease is mainly explained by an oversupply in a weakened market with high capacity in paper production, low consumption in printing and writing paper, and the effect of the summer season in Europe, higher than in other markets. Due to a significant increase in consumption during September, there are expectations of a positive trend in the last quarter.

In the North American market the demand stabilized at good levels. The low demand of the industry of printing and writing paper was offset by the high demand in tissue, absorption and packaging industries. The fibercement (which demands unbleached long fiber pulp) market was still active and expansion programs remained as programmed. The rest of America stood at good levels of activity and demand too. The Alto Paraná mill in Argentina, which has sales mainly in Brazil and Argentina, continued to decrease its levels of inventories. In other Asian markets, like India, Indonesia and Japan, followed the trend of China with good levels of activity.

During this third quarter, production was at normal levels, the only exception was at the Nueva Aldea and Licancel mills due to its annual maintenance programs. Montes del Plata is still in its ramp-up process. During the third quarter, production reached more than 80% of capacity.

2- Sawn Timber Division

The real estate and construction sectors in the United States are still showing improvements. At the third quarter of 2014 the Housing Starts Index closed at 1,017,000 units per year, which represents an increase when compared with 893,000 units in the previous quarter. The expectation for the North American market toward next months are moderate. The sales of wood product and finger joint moldings were in line with capacity and we continue to sell with stable prices. Current construction levels continue low when compared to the 10 year historical average.

Markets where Arauco sells continued with positive behavior during the third quarter. In general, there was higher demand and better prices compared with the two previous quarters.

In spite of the demand in China, the market has been affected by overstock of pine logs from New Zealand. Sales of the Company remained stable at very good levels. Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Australia, and Middle East showed good levels of activity, even achieving hikes in prices compared with the previous quarter.

Sales volume in the Chilean market has recovered during the third quarter after the adjustment of inventories from the main distributors in the country.

3- Panels Division

The most important issue during the third quarter in the panels division was the increase in sales volume of plywood, mainly due to an increase in production volume at the Nueva Aldea mill. Despite the new capacity coming from Nueva Aldea and the other new mills, we were able to maintain the same price levels in all export markets. In the Chilean market there has been more competition in low grades of plywood.

Sales volume of MDF in the third quarter began to increase compared with previous quarters after the expected increase in demand in Brazil and improvements in some states of the United States. Exports to Mexico remained at high levels. Despite this, total supply in North America, Brazil, Argentina and Chile was higher compared to domestic sales, therefore it has been necessary to export to markets with lower margins. MDF molding kept at expected levels, in spite of the increase in supply from imports and domestic production.

Particleboard was at good levels in sales volume of value-added products reached by our Teno mill, producing at its capacity design. Inventories from the supply chain reached historical average levels, especially from main distributors. This has helped to reach better margins for this category.

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

Assets

Current Assets

Current assets reached US$ 3,342.8 million at the end of the third quarter of 2014, an increase of 11.4% or US$ 342.4 million compared to the US$ 3,000.4 million in the second quarter of 2014.

As of September 2014 our cash balance reached US$ 972.2 million, an increase of 51.7% or US$ 331.5 million when compared to the US$ 640.7 million reached in the previous quarter. This is explained by US$ 500 million received in July 2014 from the proceeds of our 144A/RegS Notes due in 2024, and partially offset by US$ 200 million in the prepayment of a bilateral loan that had a final maturity in December of this year. The other portion of proceeds from these notes will be used to finance the maturity of US$ 370 million in notes due in April, 2015.

Inventories decreased from US$ 940.3 million in the second quarter of 2014 to US$ 930.8 million in the third quarter of 2014.

Accounts receivables reached US$ 746.3 million during the third quarter of 2014, a decrease of 9.7% or US$ 80.1 million compared to the previous quarter.

On September 8, 2014, and after three years of construction, the official opening ceremony of Montes del Plata took place in Punta Pereira, Uruguay with the participation of Uruguay’s President José Mujica. This project was the highest private investment in the history of Uruguay. Montes del Plata is a state of the art pulp mill, which includes a biomass electricity generator and a port terminal.

Tax Reform was Promulgated in Chile

On September 29th, 2014, Law N°20.780 was promulgated, which included modifications to the Tax System such as a progressive increase in the Corporate Income Tax starting in year 2014 and ending in year 2018. In Chile, on October 17th the Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros (SVS) requested that the financial impact of this law, caused by the net effect of deferred taxes over assets and liabilities due to the tax increase should be registered through Equity. Our financial statements to be submitted to the SEC in U.S.A. will include the net effect of deferred taxes over assets and liabilities due to the tax increase in the Income Statement, in line with IFRS.

Sierra Pine

On October 1, 2014, Arauco and Sierra Pine took the decision to abandon the request submitted to the Department of Justice of the United States (DOJ). The agreement consisted in the acquisition of the three panel mills from Sierra Pine, located in the West Coast of the U.S. This decision has no material effects over the results of Arauco.
