As of September 30, 2016, total assets increased U.S.$178 million compared to December 31, 2015, equivalent to a 1.3% variation. This deviation was driven mainly by increases in the balance of investments in connection with the purchase of a 50% interest in the joint venture SONAE ARAUCO, properties, plant and equipment and biological assets, partially offset by a decrease in trade and other accounts receivable.

In turn, total liabilities decreased by U.S.$107 million mainly due to a decrease in financial liabilities and non-financial liabilities for a lower register of provision for minimum dividend compared to December 31, 2015.

As of September 30, 2016, the short-term debt represented 20% of total liabilities (15% as of December 31, 2015).

Our financial expenses coverage ratio decreased from 2.97 to 1.99, mainly due to the lower earnings before taxes for the period ended September 30, 2016, compared to the same period of 2015.

 

  b) Statements of income

Income before income tax

Income before income tax registered a profit of approximately U.S.$199 million compared to a profit of approximately U.S.$382 million in the same period of 2015. The negative variation of U.S.$183 million is explained by the factors described in the following table:

2. MAIN SOURCES OF FINANCING

Arauco’s financing needs are mainly covered through the capital markets, with bond issuances and credits obtained from banks and financial institutions serving as the main sources of financing. For short-term borrowing, Arauco follows a 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 corresponds to borrowings from 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 material differences between the economic value of our assets and the value reflected in these Financial Statements.

4. MARKET SITUATION

Pulp Division

During the third quarter, prices dipped to the lowest levels during this year, although the mood has improved at quarter-end. Among other factors, growing supply from Europe and North America increased long fiber producer stocks by two days, while new supply from Brazil enabled short fiber producer stocks to increase by six days. Seasonality effects in the Northern hemisphere did not help matters, as the summer months brought with them less demand. Compared to the same quarter of last year, inventory levels for long fiber remained at similar levels, while hardwood levels increased by 10 days.

Despite leading price recoveries during the last quarter, this quarter Asia suffered a setback in prices, with China leading the way. Overall prices declined 6% in both fibers, which translated in adjustments of U.S.$ 25 to U.S.$ 30 in long fiber prices, and U.S.$30 to U.S.$ 40 in short fiber prices. The price gap between both fibers remained wide, with long fiber U.S.$ 110 above short fiber prices, incentivizing a higher use of short fiber over long fiber. The effect of additional volume from North America also pressured prices, although this new supply is planned to produce fluff pulp in the medium and long term as the fluff market develops and deepens. In the meantime, Asian markets remain attractive to enter rapidly

and compete via prices to sell this excess supply. Printing and writing paper demand remained active, and exports increased as the local currency in Asian countries depreciated against the U.S. dollar.

The European market suffered minor adjustments of approximately 2% to 3% in both fibers, translating into a decline of U.S.$ 10 for long fiber prices and U.S.$ 20 for short fiber prices. Although the factors pressuring prices are similar to those affecting Asia, price declines werenot as pronounced, especially since Asian prices recovered much more during the second quarter compared to European prices. Paper markets remained stagnant and even tissue producers experienced price slumps.

Markets in Latin America continued to be active, with the exception of Brazil with lower than average pulp prices due to the aggressive position of new supply within the country took within the local market. Middle Eastern markets followed global tendencies and special discount in spot prices were frequent in order to divert excess supply from more important and regular markets.

During this quarter, our production levels were normal, with maintenances stoppages in our Licancel Pulp Mill in July and Line 2 of our Arauco Pulp Mill at the end of August, both lasting approximately two weeks.

Timber Division

Our wood products segment showed mixed results during the third quarter, which overall maintained revenues stable compared to last quarter. Revenues of this segment adjusted of 0.5% upward, reaching U.S.$ 638.1 million. Prices improved in some regions, especially in Chilean and Brazilian markets. However, this price improvement was in detriment of sales volume, with both markets declining by 10.8% and 7.2% in sales volume, respectively. The opposite effect occurred in Argentina and other markets, with prices slightly dipping in favor of increased sales volume.

Within the panels market, there were overall stronger price increases than decreases throughout all markets, with the exception of Brazil which saw a minor decline in prices in MDF and PBO. Higher local competition within this market added pressure to prices in this country. The depreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar also gave way to lower returns in U.S. dollar terms for exports. Our melamine products, however, were well positioned and continued to reap the benefits. In North America, MDF had a positively sloped demand throughout the quarter, and imports from our production facilities in Brazil, Argentina and Chile increased in order to meet this higher demand. Particleboard sales did not fare as well, but maintained somewhat similar levels in terms of price and volume compared to last quarter. Sales in Mexico prospered and prices remained stable this quarter despite new MDF mills starting up locally. Products that differentiate us from our competitors, such as our melamine products, helped maintain sales volume. In Argentina, there was an upsurge in sales volume, despite exports being difficult to concrete. MDF moldings have also regained strength across markets.

Furthermore, sawn timber markets continued to recover. Asia and Oceania, one of our stronger markets within sawn timber sales showed a healthy demand, with China and Korea showing stable prices and sales volume. In the United States and Canada, Arauco was able to regain market position in Araucoply, as there was a stronger demand for these products throughout the region. This effect was slightly offset by higher sales volume from Latin American countries. Price hikes in pine moldings, though modest, have yet to affect our

bottom line. Middle Eastern markets continue to show favorable results, expanding Arauco´s client base in India and consolidating price increases. Other markets, such as Latin America and the Caribbean and Europe, have shown stability, with plywood picking up strength in the latter.

5. ANALYSIS OF CASH FLOW

Positive Net cash flow (negative)

     (33,182      (422,070
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

The financing cash flow had a negative balance of U.S.$148 million in the current period compared to a negative balance of U.S.$713 million in the same period of 2015. Such decrease was mainly due to an increase in bank loans received and a decrease in loan payments.

In relation to the flow of investment at the end of the current period, there was a negative balance of U.S.$482 million compared to a negative balance of U.S.$397 million in the same period of 2015. Such increase was mainly due to greater disbursements for the purchase of the interest in the joint venture SONAE ARAUCO, partially offset by lower payments for the acquisition of properties, 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, 2016, a ratio of fixed rate debt to total consolidated debt of approximately 86.8%, which it believes is consistent with industry standards. The Company does not participate in futures trading as to maintain one of the lowest cost structures in the industry, the risks for price fluctuations are bounded.

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 Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2016, a detailed analysis of the risks associated with the business of Arauco is available (See Note 23).

Period Covered by the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

Period between January 1 and September 30, 2016.

Date of Approval of Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

These interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) at the Extraordinary Session N° 558 held on November 11, 2016 for the period between January 1 and September 30, 2016.

Abbreviations used in this report:

IFRS - International Financial Reporting Standards

IASB - International Accounting Standards Board

IAS - International Accounting Standards

IFRIC - International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee

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 determined the United States (“U.S.”) Dollar as its functional currency since the majority of its revenues from sales of its products are derived from exports denominated in U.S. Dollars, while their 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 costs are mainly related to plantation costs which are settled in U.S. Dollars.

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

In relation to the cost of sales, although labor and services costs 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 interim consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of U.S. Dollar (ThU.S.$).

These interim consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and represent the full adoption, explicitly and unreserved of the mentioned international standards.

Retroactive application of IFRS

On October 17, 2014, the SVS issued Circular Letter No. 856, instructing auditees to register in fiscal year 2014 against equity the differences in assets and liabilities as a result of deferred taxes arising from the direct effect of the increase in the first category tax rates introduced by Law No. 20,780. Such accounting treatment differs from IAS 12 and, therefore, represented a change to the framework for the preparation and presentation of financial information adopted up to that date.

Considering what was explained in the preceding paragraph represented a specific and temporary deviation from IFRS, as from 2016 and according to paragraph 4A of IFRS 1, Arauco has decided to apply retroactively such rules (in accordance with IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”), as if it had never stopped applying them.

Given that what was indicated in the preceding paragraph does not alter any of the accounts shown in the financial statements as of September 30, 2016 and 2015, nor the financial statements as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, in accordance with paragraph 40A of IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”, it is not necessary to present financial statements as of January 1, 2015 (third column).

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for biological assets and certain derivative 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.

 

b) Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of these interim consolidated financial statements, in accordance with Superintendency of Securities and Insurance (SVS), 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.

-Biological Assets

The recovery of forest plantations is based on discounted cash flow models which means 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; therefore it is 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.

-Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of the Group’s holding in the identifiable net assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition. Said fair value is determined whether based on assessments and/or the discounted future flow method using hypotheses in their determination, such as sales prices and industry indexes, among others. See Note 17.

-Litigation and Contingencies

Arauco and its subsidiaries are subject to certain litigation proceedings. Future impact on Arauco’s financial condition derived from such litigations is estimated by management, in collaboration with its legal advisors. Arauco applies judgment when interpreting the reports of its legal advisors who provide updated estimates of the legal contingencies at each reporting period and/or at each time a modification is determined to be necessary. 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. 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 or subsidiary 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.

When Arauco holds less than the majority of voting rights in a company in which it participates, it nonetheless has the power over said company - when these voting rights are enough - to grant it in practice the ability to unilaterally direct said company’s

relevant activities. Arauco takes into account all facts and circumstances in order to assess if the voting rights in a company in which it participates are enough for granting it the power, including:

a) the size of the investor’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;

b) potential voting rights held by the investor, other vote holders or other parties;

c) rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and

d) any additional facts and circumstances that indicate the investor has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders’ meetings.

The Company will reevaluate whether or not it holds control of a company in which participates if the facts and circumstances indicate that changes have occurred in one or more of the three elements of control mentioned above.

Consolidation of an investee shall begin from the date the investor obtains control of the investee and cease when the investor loses control of the investee. An entity includes the income and expenses of an acquired or sold subsidiary in the interim consolidated financial statements from the date it gains control until the date when the entity ceases to control the subsidiary.

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

All intercompany transactions and unrealized gains and losses from subsidiaries have been fully eliminated from interim consolidated financial statements and non-controlling interest 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 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).

A parent company 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.

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

 

    Timber

 

    Forestry

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

 

e) Functional currency

 

(i) Functional currency

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

 

(ii) Translation to the presentation currency of Arauco

For the purposes of presenting interim consolidated financial statements, assets and liabilities of Arauco’s operations in a 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 “Other 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. 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: ‘loans and receivables’ and “derivative financial instruments”. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. All purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on the trade date, which require delivery of assets within the same time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

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 plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment.

Derivative financial instruments are explained in Note 1 h)

Financial liabilities

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 settlement during at least 12 months after the balance sheet’s date.

The estimate of the fair value of obligations with banks is determined using valuation techniques that include discounted cash flow analyses applying rates of similar loans. Bonds are appraised at market value.

h) Derivative financial instruments

(i) Derivative Financial Instruments - The Company 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, currency swaps and zero cost collar contracts. The company’s policy is that derivative contracts are entered into for economic hedging purposes and that there be no instruments for speculation purposes.

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 as a hedging instrument and complies with hedge accounting requirements of 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 as a whole. Arauco has determined that no embedded derivatives currently exist.

(iii) Hedge accounting - The Company 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 profit or loss. Amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income 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.

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 and in process products includes the cost of raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and manufacturing overhead 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 disposal groups (groups of assets to be sold together with their directly associated liabilities) as non-current assets held for sale which as of the date of the statement of financial position are the subject of active sale efforts which are estimated to be highly probable. Non-current assets held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the balance sheet.

These assets or disposal groups are measured at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less the costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated or 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 3 at the acquisition date; 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.

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 nor losses are recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

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 of non-controlling interests, 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 achieved in stage (“step acquisition”), recognizing the effects of remeasurement of previously held equity interest in the acquiree in the statements 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 under common control transactions are accounted using as a reference the pooling of interest. Under this method, assets and liabilities related to the transaction carry 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. Dividends received are recognized by deducting the amount received from the carrying amount of the investment. Arauco’s investment in associates includes goodwill (both net of any accumulated impairment loss).

The investments in joint operations are recognized through consolidation of assets, liabilities and results of operations in relation to Arauco’s ownership percentage.

If the cost of acquisition is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the associate acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the income statement and presented in the line Other Income (Loss).

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”.

Only if the investor has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture, it must recognize a liability, showing a zero investment until such time as it generates profits that reverse the generated negative equity previously generated as a result of accrued losses. Otherwise, a liability is not recognized but a zero investment is indicated regardless.

 

m) Intangible assets other than goodwill

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 is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest 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.

Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment on annual basis.

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 or a group of cash generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are allocated to those units or group of units.

The goodwill generated on acquisitions of foreign companies, is expressed 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 interim consolidated financial statements, the change in the carrying amount of goodwill in Brazil is only 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. 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.

Arauco evaluates the economic nature of the contracts that grant the right to use certain assets, for the purposes of determining the existence of implied leases. In these cases, the Company separates - at the beginning of the contract, and based on relative reasonable values - payments and considerations associated with the lease, from the rest of the elements incorporated to the contract.

q) Biological Assets

IAS 41 requires that biological assets, such as standing trees, are measured at fair value less cost to sell 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 profit or loss.

 

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

The tax liabilities are recognized in the consolidated 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 liability method, on the temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated annual accounts. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates contained in laws adopted as of the date of the financial statements and that are expected to be applicable when the related deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income taxes are registered according to rules established in IAS12 “Income Taxes”.

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 such 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.

The structure for recognizing revenue from export sales is based on the 2010 Incoterms, which are the official rules for the interpretation of commercial terms issued by the International Chamber of Commerce.

The main Incoterms used by Arauco are the following:

“CFR (Cost and freight)”, where the company bears all costs including main transportation, until the products arrives at its port of destination. The risk is transferred to the purchaser once the products have been loaded onto the vessel, in the country of origin.

“CIF (Cost Insurance & Freight)”, where the Company organizes and pays for external freight services and some other expenses. Arauco is no longer responsible for the products once they have been delivered to the ocean carrier company. The point of sale is the delivery of the products to the carrier chartered by the seller.

 

(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 interim 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 dividends payable provision is registered for 40% of the liquid distributable profit and against a lower equity, based on the yearly resolution of the Shareholders’ Meeting.

Dividends payable are presented in the line item “Other current non-financial liabilities” in the consolidated statement of financial position.

 

v) Earning per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit 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 are any circumstances indicating that the assets have to recognize an impairment loss. Among the circumstances 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.

A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount, however the reversal is limited to the amount recognized in previous years.

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 recognized an impairment loss, are reviewed at the end of each reporting period whether there are any circumstances indicating 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

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 to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

A cash-generating unit, for which goodwill has been allocated, is tested for impairment annually or more frequently when there are circumstances indicating 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 other assets pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss of goodwill is recognized directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

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 assessment 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 loss 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 profit or loss.

An allowance for doubtful accounts is established based on an analysis of the maturity of the portfolio and considering the insurance coverage on accounts receivable. Other conditions are assessed, for example, when there is objective evidence of default or delinquency in payments under the original sale terms and when the customer enters into bankruptcy or financial reorganization, 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 constitutes labor obligations for severance payable in all circumstances for certain of its employees with at least 5 years of work in the Company, based on the terms of the staff’s collective and individual bargaining agreements.

The related provision is an estimate of the years of service to be recognized as a future labor obligation liability, in accordance with contracts between Arauco and its employees and pursuant to actuarial valuation criteria for this type of liability. This post-employment benefit is considered a defined benefit plan.

The main factors considered for calculating the actuarial value of severance 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.

These obligations are related to post-employee benefits in accordance with current standards.

y) Employee Vacations

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

This obligation is presented in the line item “Trade and Other current payables” and “Trade and Other non-current payables” depending on their respective maturities in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Inventories recognized as cost of sales at September 30, 2016 were ThU.S.$2,522,954 (ThU.S.$2,589,061 at September 30, 2015).

In order to have the inventories recorded at net realizable value at September 30, 2016, a net decrease of inventories was recognized associated with a higher provision of obsolescence of ThU.S.$1,915 (ThU.S.$2,487 at September 30, 2015). As of September 30, 2016, the amount of obsolescence provision is ThU.S.$22,017 (ThU.S.$20,102 at December 31, 2015).

At September 30, 2016 there were inventory write-offs of ThU.S.$1,335 (ThU.S.$3,811 at September 30, 2015)

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

As of the date of these interim consolidated financial statements, there are no inventories pledged as security to report.

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. These 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 the amounts of cash surpluses in the short-term. 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 interim 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 24% in Chile, 35% in Argentina, 34% in Brazil, 25% in Uruguay and 34% in the United States (federal tax).

On September 29, 2014, the Official Gazette published Law No. 20,780, which introduced various amendments to the current income tax system, as well as to other taxes. The main amendment was the establishment of an option between two tax regimes: attributed income system and the partially integrated system. One of the effects of the regime selection is that it attaches a progressive increase in the First Category Tax for the fiscal years of 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 onwards, increasing to 21%, 22,5%, 24% y 25%, respectively, if the Company chooses the application of an attributed income system, or an increase to 21%, 22.5%, 24%, 25.5% y 27% for the fiscal years 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and thereafter, if the Company chooses the application of the partially integrated system.

Subsequently, on February 29, 2016, the Official Gazette publishes Law No. 20,899, which introduced amendments to Law No. 20,780. Among the main amendments is the incorporation of certain limitations for applying to the attributed income system, and therefore Arauco’s Chilean companies must apply the general rule, that is, the partially integrated system.

Certain subsidiaries of Arauco, as of the date of these interim consolidated financial statements, present tax losses for which we estimate that, given the projection of future profits, will allow the recovery of these assets. The total amount of these tax losses is ThU.S.$116,365 (ThU.S.$112,383 at December 31, 2015), which are mainly originated by operational and financial losses.

In addition, as of the closing of these interim consolidated financial statements there are ThU.S.$ 80,988 (ThU.S.$ 114,507 at December 31, 2015) of non-recoverable tax losses from companies in Uruguay as joint operations based on the participation of Arauco, for which deferred tax assets have not been recognized. The estimated recovery period exceeds the expiry date of such tax losses.

NOTE 14. INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Company mergers

On December 1, 2015 there was a merger among the affiliates Paneles Arauco S.A. (successor), Aserraderos Arauco S.A. and Arauco Distribución S.A. This transaction had no effect on results and was performed with a view to generate greater synergies, share best practices and achieve better results for our clients. There will be a progressive integration of the activities of sawmills, remanufacturing, plywood, panels and distribution under the same view, with products oriented to the furniture, construction, fitting and packaging industries.

Investments in Subsidiaries

In October 2015, the company acquired the remaining 51% of the interest ownership in Novo Oeste Gestao de Ativos Florestais S.A., in which it held, on December 31, 2015, a stake of 100% through Arauco’s subsidiaries in Brazil. Tables below show the acquired assets and liabilities at fair value, consideration paid and effects generated through the transaction.

The interest previously held by Novo Oeste Gestao de Ativos Florestais S.A. was measured at fair value, recognizing a gain in the other income line of ThU.S.$15,268. The price paid for the 51% interest was ThU.S.$995, generating a goodwill of ThU.S.$6,697, for which Arauco decided to recognize in the results because of the Company’s accumulated losses. The impairment loss is presented net from the abovementioned gain.

On August 13, 2015, the company Arauco Middle East DMCC was incorporated with a single contribution from Inversiones Arauco Internacional Limitada of 3,673,000 Dirham (ThU.S.$1,000). The corporate purpose of this company is the promotion of products and the management of Arauco’s customer relations in the Middle East.

NOTE 16. INTERESTS IN JOINT ARRANGEMENTS

Investments and contributions made

On May 31, 2016, Inversiones Arauco Internacional Limitada, Arauco’s subsidiary, acquired 50% of the shares of Tableros de Fibras S.A, a Spanish subsidiary of SONAE INDUSTRIA, SGPS, S.A. (“Sonae”), which as of such date changed its name to “Sonae Arauco S.A.”. The price paid by Arauco for the acquisition of 50% of the shares of Sonae Arauco was the amount of €137,500,000 (equivalent to MU.S.$153,135 at the acquisition date). The fair value of the investment acquired over Sonae Arauco SA, has been provisionally determined as of September 30, 2016 at MU.S.$153,135 and is subject to change, until the completion of the valuation of its net assets.

Sonae Arauco will produce and market wood panels, of the type of MDF, PB and OSB, and sawn timber, through the operation of 2 panel plants and one sawmill in Spain; 2 panel plants and one resin plant in Portugal; 4 panel plants in Germany and 2 panel plants in South Africa.

In the aggregate, the production capacity of Sonae Arauco is of approximately 1.45 million m3 of MDF, 2.27 million m3 of particle boards, 460,000 m3 of OSB and 100,000 m3 of sawn timber.

As of September 30, 2016, Arauco has not carried out any contributions to Uruguayan companies Celulosa y Energía Punta Pereira S.A. and Zona Franca Punta Pereira S.A. (MU.S.$82,943 as of December 31, 2015), with Arauco still holding 50% of control under a joint agreement.

The contributions made were invested in the construction of a last generation cellulose production plant, with a guaranteed annual capacity of 1.3 million tons, a port and an energy generation unit based on renewable resources, which is located in the town of Puerto Pereira, Province of Colonia, Uruguay.

The investments in Uruguay qualify as a joint operation. In relation to “other rights and contractual conditions”, the joint operation has the primary objective of providing the parties an output. As established in the “Pulp Supply Agreement”, both Arauco and its partner have the obligation to acquire 100% of the yearly pulp produced by the joint operation. Arauco has recognized the assets, liabilities, income and expenses associated with its interest ownership, as of January 1, 2013, pursuant to IFRS 11.

Furthermore, Arauco holds a 50% ownership interest in Unilin Arauco Pisos Laminados Ltda., a Brazilian company, and in Eka Chile S.A. (“Eka”), a company that sells sodium chlorate to cellulose plants in Chile. There is a contractual agreement with these companies whereby Arauco has engaged in an economic activity subject to common control, which is classified as a joint venture.

NOTE 17. IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS

As of September 30, 2016 not new impairment provisions to report.

In 2015, a provision for the impairment of the Arapoti Sawmill in an amount of ThU.S.$2,428, was registered reducing the recoverable value for these assets to zero.

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, 2016 and December 31, 2015 respectively, as shown below:

     09-30-2016    12-31-2015

Information relevant to the sum of all impairment

   ThU.S.$4,984    ThU.S.$4,658

This impairment provision is being analyzed to determine the definitive write-off corresponding to the related assets.

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 interim consolidated financial statements, the balance of goodwill is ThU.S.$75,071 (ThU.S.$69,475, at December 31, 2015)

Of the total of goodwill, ThU.S.$39,743 (ThU.S.$39,631 as of December 31, 2015) are generated by the acquisition of “Flakeboard”, a company that, directly and/or through its subsidiaries, possesses and operates 7 panel plants, for which Arauco acquired and paid, on September 24, 2012, the price of ThU.S.$242,502 for the 100% interest ownerhip.

The recoverable amount for Flakeboard’s cash generating unit was determined based on the calculations of its value in use, and this calculation was made using cash flow projections covering a 5-year term, applying a real discount rate of 7.8% which reflects current market assessments for the Panels segment in North America.

The investment in the panel plant in Pien, Brazil generated a goodwill of ThU.S.$32,513 (ThU.S.$27,030 as of December 31, 2015).

The recoverable amount for the Pien plant’s cash generating unit was determined based on the calculations of its value in use, and this calculation was made using cash flow projections based on the operational plan approved by the Administration, covering a 5-year term, applying a 9% real discount rate that reflects current evaluations for the panel segment in Brazil.

As a result of the annual impairment test, the carrying value of the goodwill does not exceed their recoverable value, and therefore there is no need to recognize impairment losses.

As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the variation of the balance in goodwill is only due to the translation adjustments as explained in the accounting policies.

NOTE 18. PROVISIONS, CONTINGENT ASSETS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The contingent liabilities for outstanding litigations are as follows:

Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A.

1. On August 25, 2005, the Chilean Servicio de Impuestos Internos (the “Chilean IRS”) issued tax resolutions No. 184 and No. 185 of 2005, objecting to certain income tax returns made by Arauco on April 16, 2001 and October 31, 2001, and furthermore, requested reimbursement from the Company for the tax returnes made in respect of certain claimed tax losses as well as the modification of the tax balance of retained earnings. 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 resolutions No. 184 and 185 of 2005. The RAF was resolved on January 9, 2009 by the Chilean IRS, which resolution 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.

On September 26, 2014, Arauco requested the submission of this claim to the competent jurisdiction of the new Tax and Customs Courts. On October 10, 2014, Arauco’s request was granted. Currently the action is being considered by these new Courts under the Docket No. RUC 14-9-0002087-3. On March 20, 2015, the SII responded to the allegations submitted by Arauco against Liquidations No. 184 and 185 of 2005. Currently, the case’s evidentiary stage is due to begin.

Considering that the Company’s position is based on solid legal grounds, there is a reasonable margin for obtaining a favorable result for the Company.

2. In conecction with Licancel Plant, 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 had from the aforementioned event, including loss of profits, pain and suffering and an alleged contractual liability.

On October 21, 2015 the Court issued a definitive first instance decision partially admitting the claim, sentencing Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A. to pay each claimant – as non-monetary damages – the sum of $5,000,000 plus adjustments, as per the variation of the CPI, calculated as from May 2007 until the month of the actual payment. On November 16, 2015, the defendant challenged the definitive decision through the submission of a cassation appeal based on formal aspects and an ordinary appeal. In turn, the plaintiff

adhered to the appeal, seeking to have the amount of the non-monetary damages recognized by the first instance decision increased. Pending. (Court of Appeals Docket No. 60-2016).

Considering that the Company’s position is based on solid legal grounds, there is a reasonable margin for obtaining a favorable result for the Company.

3. Through Res. Ex. N° 1 issued by the Superintendence of the Environment (“SMA”) on January 8, 2016, notified on January 14, 2016, the SMA formulated 11 charges against the Company, due to alleged breaches of certain Environmental Qualification Resolutions for the Valdivia Plant and of DS No. 90/2000. The 11 charges were classified as follows by the SMA: 1 critical, 5 severe, 5 minor.

On February 12, 2016, the Company submitted its defenses. The SMA shall analyze and rule on the defenses, and it may request new information or open a term for providing evidence. Once these proceedings have been discharged, the SMA will issue a resolution that either absolves or sanctions the Company. The resolutions issued by the SMA may be appealed before the Environmental Court.

Considering that the Company’s position is based on solid legal grounds, there is a reasonable margin for obtaining a favorable result for the Company.

4. Through Res. Ex. N° 1 of the SMA, dated February 17, 2016 notified on February 23, 2016, the SMA formulated 8 charges against the company due to alleged breaches of certain Environmental Qualification Resolutions for the Nueva Aldea Plant.

On July 15, 2016, the Exempted Resolution No. 11 of the SMA was notified, which approved the compliance program and suspended the punitive proceedings. If the program is satisfactorily implemented, it would be possible to conclude the proceedings without applying any sanctions.

On August 3, 2016, third-party complainants in the administrative proceeding filed a complaint appeal against Exempted Resolution No. 11 issued by the SMA, which approved the compliance program. The Third Environmental Court must issue a decision with regard to this complaint appeal.

Considering that the Company’s position is based on solid legal grounds, there is a reasonable margin for obtaining a favorable result for the Company.

5. Through Exempted Resolution No. 1/File F-020-2016, dated May 6, 2016, the SMA formulated four charges against the company due to certain alleged breaches of the Environmental Qualification Resolutions of the Licancel Plant. The SMA classified the four charges as follows: 1 severe and 3 minor.

The company filed its defenses on June 8, 2016. On October 21, 2016, the SMA requested additional information from the company, which will be submitted in due time. Subsequently, the SMA could request additional information or open a term for the production of evidence. Once these proceedings have been completed, the SMA must issue a new resolution absolving or convicting the company. The SMA’s resolutions may be challenged before the Environmental Court.

Arauco Argentina S.A.

1. On December 14, 2007 the Federal Administration of Internal Revenue (Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos)(“AFIP”) requested a determination, challenging the deductibility, as against Income Tax, of certain expenses, interests and exchange differences generated by Private Negotiable Obligations issued by the Company in 2001 and cancelled in 2007, for an amount of US$ 250,000,000.

This determination reached $417,908,207 (equivalent to MU.S.$ 27,296 as of September 30, 2016) for principal, compensatory interest and fines.

On February 11, 2008, the Company appealed before the National Tax Court (Tribunal Fiscal de la Nación) (“TFN”), which upheld the State’s determination on February 2010. The Company appealed this decision before the National Chamber of Appeals for Federal Administrative Disputes.

Likewise, the Company requested an interim measure of relief before the Chamber of Appeals, so that the Chamber may order the suspension of the determination’s enforceability while the final judgment is pending. On May 13, 2010, Chamber I of the National Chamber of Appeals for Federal Administrative Disputes approved the request, subject to the pledge of collateral, which collateral was furnished by the Company by means of Insurance Policy No. 86058, issued by Zurich Argentina Cia. de Seguros S.A. for $633,616,741 (equivalent to MU.S.$ 41,386 as of September 30, 2016).

The judgment of the Chamber of Appeals, issued in December 2012, was contrary to the company’s interests. The Company filed an Ordinary Appeal before the Supreme Court of Justice, which was authorized by the Chamber of Appeals, and an Extraordinary Appeal, which was duly noted by the Chamber for the relevant procedural phase.

During this entire process, the Company’s external advisors maintained their opinion that the Company had behaved within the limits of the law in its deduction of the interests, expenses and exchange differences that was challenged by the State, and that there were good changes that this determination issued by the AFIP would be rendered without effect.

On July 22, 2016, Congress passed law No. 27,260, whose Title II, Book II establishes an Exceptional Regularization Regime for Tax, Social Security and Customs Obligations, for obligations that have been the subject matter of judicial proceedings (henceforth, the “Regularization Regime”).

The introduction of the Regularization Regime entails an exemption from the applicable fines as well as a portion of the interests. In order to enjoy these benefits, the taxpayer must unconditionally accept its counterparty’s claim in relation to the regularized obligations, as well as desist from and withdraw any action and right, including restitution actions, bearing the expense of litigation costs and expenses.

The legal counselors that have been intervening in the different stages of litigation have highlighted the very important economic advantages offered by the Regularization Regime in light of the contingency inherent to any judicial case.

On September 7, 2016, the Company materialized its application to the Regularization Regime before the AFIP, in connection to the obligations claimed in consideration to the adjustment conducted by the State regarding the Income Tax Statements filed between the years 2001 and 2004 and reported this situation to the Nation’s Supreme Court, consequently abandoning the Ordinary Appeal that had been promptly lodged.

As of this date, the updated amount for the contingency amounted to approximately $ 891,758,132 (equal to MU.S.$ 58,247 as of September 30, 2016), corresponding to principal, interest and fines. The Company decided to pay in cash, and the balance that was finally paid amounted to $ 248,503,504 (equal to MU.S.$ 16,231 as of September 30, 2016). Additionally, the Company shall assume the payment of all litigation costs and trial expenses, the sum of which was undetermined as of the date of these financial statements. On November 1, 2016, the Nation’s Supreme Court of Justice declared the abovementioned remedy’s abandonment and returned the file to the court of origin.

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 Arauco Argentina 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 Arauco Argentina 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 that Arauco Argentina 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.$ 23,440 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. Arauco Argentina S.A. then proceeded to establish the required guarantees, which - as of the date of these financial statements - amount to Argentine Pesos 245,359,796 (ThU.S.$16,026 at September 30, 2016).

Arauco Argentina S.A. 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 December 6, 2013, Arauco Argentina 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 Arauco Argentina S.A. that it had received the APSA’s response and was beginning the trial period. On June 18, 2014 the BCRA notified the company of the closure of the trial period. On June 26, 2014 APSA presented its answer. On October 6, 2014, the company was served with the ruling dated September 30, 2014, issued by the National Criminal and Economic Court No. 8, Secretary No. 16, through which it was notified that the court would analyze the case under Case File No. 1330/2014.

The resolution through which the Intervening Court declared the expiration of the criminal action based on the statute of limitations and acquitted the Company was issued on August 23, 2016

Arauco do Brasil S.A.

On November 8, 2012, the Brazilian tax authorities issued an Infringement Notice against one of our Brazilian subsidiaries, Arauco do Brasil S.A., for allegedly unpaid taxed owed by said company during the period from 2006 to 2010. Specifically, the tax authorities (i) objected to the deductibility of certain payments made, and expenses incurred (including the amortization of premiums, interest and litigation costs) by Arauco do Brasil between 2005 and 2010, and, (ii) argued that Arauco do Brasil made certain insufficient payments regarding the Brazilian Corporate Tax (“IRPJ”) and the Corporate Contribution over Net Profits (“CSLL”) during 2010.

On July 20, 2015, Arauco do Brasil was notified of the first-level administrative ruling which partially upheld the Infringement. Against this ruling, a Voluntary Appeal was filed seeking to revoke the Infringement Notice before the Brazilian Administrative Tax Council (Conselho

Administrativo de Recursos Fiscais de Brasil or “CARF”), which is the second administrative level. As of the date of this report, the trial pertaining to this objection is still pending. The company believes that its challenge against the Infringement Notice is based on sound legal grounds and that a reasonable possibility exists that this matter will be resolved in favor of the company. However, if a favorable ruling is not obtained, it is possible that an obligation is generated in the aforementioned sums, plus interest and fines, up to the date on which the respective payment is made.

Forestal Arauco S.A.

1. 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 October 27, 2015, the Court passed a first instance definitive judgment, dismissing the claim in its entirety. On November 16, 2015, the plaintiff challenged the first instance judgment by means of a cassation appeal based on substantial and procedural grounds. (Case Docket Court of Appeals No. 1956-2015). The Court of Appeals decided to send the case back to the first instance court, in order for the latter to issue a ruling regarding a witness disqualification that was not resolved in the original decision, thus completing the ruling. The first instance court, complying with the orders issued by the Court of Appeals of Concepción, decided to reject the witness disqualification filed against witness Mr. Gabriel Fernández P., and none of the parties objected to said decision. Thereafter, the case once again was remitted to the Court of Appeals of Concepción and the CONADI’s report was received. Currently, the case is being entertained by the Court of Appeals, pending a hearing and resolution of the appeal and formal cassation appeal filed in the trial. Pending.

Considering that the Company’s position is based on solid legal grounds, there is a reasonable margin for obtaining a favorable result for the Company.

2. Maquinarias y Equipos Klenner Limitada filed a civil damages claim before the First Civil Court of Valdivia, Case File number C-375-2015, against Forestal Arauco S.A. The claim seeks compensation for alleged damages brought as a result of the termination of a service provision contract that took place on February 9, 2010

On February 6, 2015, the claim was served on Mr. Cristián Durán Silva, on behalf of Forestal Arauco S.A. On February 12, 2015, the company appeared submitting a motion to void the service of process, since Mr. Cristian Durán Silva was not the legal representative of Forestal Arauco S.A., and because the requirements of article 44 of the Code of Civil Procedure had not been fulfilled in this service of process.

The Court granted the plaintiff the legal term to submit its arguments in this regard, issuing a resolution dated February 17 of 2015. Moreover, the company required that proceedings be suspended while this matter was pending decision. The Court gave the floor to the plaintiff with regard to this request. In view of the foregoing, on February 24, 2015, the

company raised dilatory defenses, In view of the above, on February 24, 2015, the company filed dilatory defenses, which were dismissed by the Court on August 20, 2015. The decision whereby the defenses were dismissed was appealed by the defendant, and such appeal was ultimately dismissed by the Court of Appeals of Valdivia. On September 2, 2015, Forestal Arauco S.A. answered the claim. Subsequently, the plaintiff filed a reply, and the defendant filed the rejoinder. On October 1, 2015, a settlement hearing took place without any results.

The Court issued the ruling ordering the production of evidence. Both parties lodged a reconsideration appeal, with a secondary ordinary appeal, in an effort to amend the abovementioned ruling. The Court dismissed both reconsideration appeals and granted the secondary ordinary appeals. The Court of Appeals rejected both secondary appeals, and no variations were made to the ruling that ordered the production of evidence.

The period for producing evidence in the first instance stage commenced, and both parties submitted documents and testimonial evidence, and the court ordered hearings for the production of electronic evidence and the exhibition of certain documents. The defendant requested the court to issue a ruling ordering the parties to await a final award. The Court ordered that it first be certified that the period for producing evidence had expired. The Court issued a resolution whereby the trial stage of the case was closed and left its final judgment pending. On September 23, 2016, the Court decided to carry out an accounting assessment as a measure for an improved ruling, which was conducted on October 24, 2016. The Parties’ observations in this regard are still pending.

Considering that the Company’s position is based on solid legal grounds, there is a reasonable margin for obtaining a favorable result for the Company.

3. On April 28, 2015, the company was notified of and answered the action for recovery submitted in ordinary proceedings by Mr. Rodrigo Huanquimilla Arcos and Mr. Mario Andrades Rojas, attorneys at law, on behalf of 24 members of the Arcos succession, who claiming to be owners of the estate that they identify as Hacienda Quivolgo, of 5,202 hectares, request that Forestal Celco S.A., currently Forestal Arauco S.A., be sentenced to return the abovementioned real property plus civil and natural fruits or revenues as well as any estates adhered to it, along with any damages that the real property may have suffered, with litigation costs. The company proceeded to answer the claim requesting that it be completely rejected, arguing that Forestal Celco S.A., currently Forestal Arauco S.A., is the sole and legitimate owner of the real property.

The Court issued the resolution that commenced the evidentiary stage and ordered that this trial be joined with case file No. C-54-2015, suspending the proceeding and ordering the parties to appoint a joint representative to act on behalf of both parties. The attorneys for both claimant parties conferred reciprocal powers to each other, and thus the Court deemed they had fulfilled the legal requirement. The defendant lodged an appeal against this ruling before the Court of Appeals of Talca. Likewise, the defendant lodged an appeal against the ruling that failed to decide the reconsideration appeal that had been previously filed against the ruling that ordered the production of evidence. The Court of Appeals dismissed both appeals.

In the first instance stage, the period for producing evidence commenced and both parties produced evidence. The period for producing evidence expired on May 9, 2016. Both parties have requested that the court issue a resolution whereby the trial stage be declared closed and the case ready for the issuance of the final judgment. The Court has rejected such petitions because a procedure in the case is currently pending.

NOTE 20. BIOLOGICAL ASSETS

Biological assets comprise forestry plantations, mainly radiata and taeda pine, and to a lesser extent eucalyptus. The plantations are located in Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay, with a total surface of 1.7 million hectares, out of which 1 million hectares are used for forestry planting, 409 thousand hectares are native forest, 190 thousand hectares are used for other purposes and 63 thousand hectares not yet planted.

As of September 30, 2016, the production volume of logs totaled 14.2 million cubic meters (14.8 million cubic meters as of September 30, 2015).

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 internal data from 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 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 volume that will not decrease, 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 trades. 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 own industrial centers and sales to third parties at market prices. Sales margin of the different products that are harvested in the forest is also considered in the valuation. The changes in the value of the plantations pursuant to the criteria defined above are accounted for in the results for the fiscal year, as established in IAS 41. These changes are presented in the Statement of profit or loss under the line item Other income per function, which as of September 30, 2016 amounted to ThU.S.$139,905 (ThU.S.$140,692 as of September 30, 2015). The appraisal of biological assets resulted in a greater cost of the lumber sold in comparison to the real incurred cost, which is presented included in the cost of sales which as of September 30, 2016 amounted to ThU.S.$150,903 (ThU.S.$142,427 as of September 30, 2015).

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.

23.2 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, 2016, 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: Securities or quoted prices 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).

23.3 Explanation of the valuation of Financial Instruments.

Cash and cash equivalent and accounts receivable

The carrying amount of accounts receivable flows, cash and cash equivalents (including mutual funds), and other financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments.

Derivative financial instruments

Interest rate and currency swaps are valued under the cash flow discount method at the rate applicable according to the transaction’s risk, using an internal methodology based on the information obtained from Bloomberg. In this particular case, given that cross currency swaps correspond to future flows in UF and future flows in Dollars, Arauco calculates the current value of such flows by using 2 discount curves: the UF zero coupon curve and the Dollar zero coupon.

The fair value of the interest rate swap contracts is calculated by reference to the rate differential between the agreed upon rate and the market rate as of the end date of these financial statements.

The fair value of the currency forward contracts is calculated by reference to the current forward exchange rates of contracts with similar maturity profiles.

For the case of zero cost collar, the Bloomberg terminal is used to value Fuel Oil No. 6 options.

Financial Liabilities

The fair value of bonds issued was determined with reference to quoted market prices as they have standard terms and conditions.

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.

Disclosures of the fair value of financial liabilities at amortized cost are determined via the use of discounted cash flows, calculated over variables of the observable markets as of the date of informing the consolidated financial statements, and correspond to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Cross currency swaps

Arauco has exposure to cash flow variability in the exchange rate risk factor. This occurs mainly because of holding assets or liabilities in currencies other than the functional currency, creating variations that could affect the operation’s results.

Below are the cross currency swaps that Arauco has as of September 30, 2016 to cover the exposure to the exchange rate risk generated from bonds denominated in UF:

Arauco needs to minimize the risk of exchange rate as it holds adjustable obligations in Chilean Pesos. The objective of this position in the swap is to eliminate the uncertainty of the exchange rate, exchanging the flows derived from obligations expressed in adjustable pesos of the bonds described above, with flows in U.S. dollars (Arauco’s functional currency), at a fixed and determined exchange rate as of the agreement’s execution date.

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

The Credit and Collections Sub-Division, dependent from the Treasury Division, is the area entrusted with minimizing the credit risk of the accounts receivable, supervising the delinquency of the accounts. The regulations and procedures applicable for the control and administration of the Arauco Group can be found in the Corporate Credit Policy.

As of September 30, 2016, Arauco’s balance for commercial Debtors was MU.S.$ 537,755 of which, according to the agreed sales conditions, 66.76% corresponded to sales on credit (open account), 29.42% to sales with letters of credit and 3.82% to other types of sales, distributed in 2,348 debtors. The client with the largest Open Account debt represented 2.32% of the total accounts receivable as of that date.

Explanation regarding the Sales Risk with Letters of Credit

The sales with letters of credit mainly occur in markets in Asia and the Middle East. Periodically, a credit assessment is conducted regarding the banks that issue the letters of credit with the purpose of obtaining their score over the basis of risk-qualification ratings, country-specific risk and financial statements. The decision of approving the issuing bank or asking for confirmation of the letter of credit is made in consideration to this assessment.

Explanation of the Sales Risk with Letters of Credit

Sales on credit are subject to the credit limit for each customer. The approval or rejection of a credit limit for all term sales is conducted by the Corporate Credit Sub-Division, as well as by the Credit and Collections area for North America, Brazil and Argentina, which report to the Corporate Finance Division. The regulations and procedures applicable for the correct control and risk management over the sales on credit are ruled by the Credit Policy.

A procedure that must be applied by all the companies of the Arauco group has been established for the approval and/or modification of client credit lines. Credit line requests are entered to the SAP that analyzes all available information. Afterwards, the same are either approved or rejected in each one of the internal committees of each company belonging to the Arauco group, depending on the maximum amount authorized by the Credit Policy. Lines of credit are renewed during this internal process on a yearly basis.

All sales are automatically controlled by a credit verification system, which has been configured to block any orders from clients who are delinquent in a given percentage of a debt and/or from clients whose line of credit, as of the time of the product’s shipping, has been exceeded or is overdue.

In order to minimize the credit risk for term or Open Account sales, it is Arauco’s policy to take out insurance to cover the export sales of companies Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A., Maderas Arauco S.A., Forestal Arauco S.A., and Arauco do Brasil S.A., as well as the domestic sales of Arauco México S.A. de C.V., Arauco Wood Inc, Arauco Colombia S.A., Arauco Perú S.A., Arauco Panels USA LLC, Flakeboard Company Ltd., Flakeboard America Ltd., Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A., Maderas Arauco S.A., Arauco Florestal Arapoti, Arauco Forest Brasil S.A. and Arauco do Brasil S.A. Arauco works with credit insurance company Continental (AA- rating, as per risk rating companies Humphreys and Fitch Ratings). In order to cover the export sales and domestic sales of Arauco Argentina S.A., the preferred credit insurance company is Insur (a subsidiary of Continental in Argentina). Both companies grant a 90% coverage over the amount of each invoice, without deductibles, for registered clients and of 80% for non-registered clients. (Non-registered clients are those whose lines range between MU.S.$ 5 and MU.S.$ 50 (equivalent currency of their invoicing) of the local sales of companies Arauco Perú S.A., Arauco Colombia S.A., Arauco México S.A. de C.V., Arauco Do Brasil S.A., Arauco Argentina S.A. and Maderas Arauco S.A. Lines in excess of the aforesaid amounts correspond to registered clients.

As another way of minimizing risk and supporting a line of credit approved by the Credit Committee, Arauco holds guarantees such as mortgages, pledges, Standby letters of credit, bank performance bonds, checks, promissory notes, loans or any other that could be required under the laws of each country. The total amount held in guarantees amounts to US$77.1 million, effective as of September 2016, as summarized in the following chart. The procedure for guarantees is regulated by Arauco’s Policy on Guarantees, whose purpose is to control their accounting, due date and custody.

The maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the value at amortized cost of the Debtors’ account for sales registered as of the date of this report, minus the percentage of sales insured by the aforementioned credit insurance companies and the guarantees granted in favor of Arauco.

In summary, the open account debt covered by the various insurance policies and guarantees amounts to 98.9% and, therefore, Arauco’s portfolio exposure amounts to 1.1%.

Investment Policy:

Arauco has an Investment Policy which identifies and limits the financial instruments and the entities into which the Arauco companies, in particular Celulosa Arauco y Constitucion S.A., are authorized to invest. 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 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 dealers of mutual funds that are bank affiliates), 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.

23.10.2 Type of Risk: 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.

23.10.3 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 as of the date of these financial statements. 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 +/- 1.75% (equivalent to ThU.S.$ +/- 5.1), and +/- 0.05% of equity (equivalent to ThU.S.$ +/- 3.0).

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 as of the date of these financial statements. 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 +/- 0.25% (equivalent to ThU.S.$707) and a change on the equity of +/- 0.01% (equivalent to ThU.S.$424).

23.10.4 Type of Risk: 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, 2016, 13% our financial debt accrues interest at variable rates. A change of +/- 10% in the interest rate is considered a possible range of fluctuation. Such market conditions would affect the income after tax at rate of +/- 0.71% (equivalent to ThU.S.$-/+ 2.0) and +/- 0.02% (equivalent to ThU.S.$-/+ 1.2) on equity.

23.10.5 Type of Risk: 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, 2016, revenue due to pulp sales accounted for 44.9% 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 4.33% (equivalent to MU.S.$ 47.22), on the income after tax and +/- 11,02% (equivalent to MU.S.$35.3) and +/- 0.34% (equivalent to MU.S.$21.2) on equity.

NOTE 24. OPERATING SEGMENTS

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

 

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

 

    Timber: The range of products sold by this operating segment are plywood panels, MDF panels (medium density fiberboard), Hardboard Panels, PB Panels (agglomerated different sizes of sawn wood and remanufactured products such as moldings, precut pieces and finger joints.

The Wood segment was created following the merger of the companies indicated in Note 14, which resulted in the merger of the previous sawmills and boards segments. Disclosures made as of September 30, 2015, have been reformulated for comparative purposes.

 

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

Pulp

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

Arauco has seven plants, five in Chile, one in Argentina and one in Uruguay and they have a total production capacity of approximately 3.9 million tons per year. Pulp is sold in more than 45 countries, mainly in Asia and Europe.

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 September 30, 2016 and 2015 in order to determine the provision of 40% of the distributable net income for each year:

NOTE 27. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

1) On October 25, 2016, the commencement of the construction of the “MDP Grayling” project was approved, which will be located in the State of Michigan, United States of America (the “Project”). The Project will be developed by the North American subsidiary Flakeboard America Limited.

Said Project consists of the construction and operation of a plant that will manufacture MDP boards or panels (medium-density particle boards). The Project’s production capacity is expected to be 800,000 m3 of finished product per year, of which approximately 300,000 m3 shall be coated with melamine-impregnated paper.

It is estimated that the Project shall begin operations by the end of year 2018, and that its sales will exceed US$ 200,000,000 per year.

The execution of this Project requires an estimated investment of US$ 400,000,000, which shall be financed with in-house resources.

Arauco estimates that this Project shall cause positive effects on the Company’s results, although, for the time being, these effects are not quantifiable.

OVERVIEW

  

Arauco’s third quarter results were modest, with revenues slightly decreasing 1.6% or U.S.$ 1,187.5 million during the third quarter of the year. As a consequence, our Adjusted EBITDA reached U.S.$ 256.1 million this quarter.

Fundamentals in the softwood and hardwood pulp markets were relatively weak as supply remained plentiful, but the general mood remains optimistic. Arauco was able to concrete a few price hikes, and Chinese demand is starting to pick up. New pulp capacity coming in has shown its effects in both fibers, and the market is holding its breath to discern the impact of the new pulp mills coming in the next few months, especially with the pulp mill in Indonesia.

Our wood products business showed mixed results, with some prices increasing in detriment of lower sales volume. The overall effect was that revenues remained unchanged with respect to the previous quarter, increasing 0.5%.

Arauco´s Free Cash Flow during this quarter was U.S.$ 11.0 million, thanks to lower payments in investment and financing activities. Net Debt decreased by U.S.$ 20.1 million, mainly from a lower accrued interest as year-end approaches. A lower Adjusted EBITDA offset our lower Net debt over the last twelve months, which increased our leverage to 3.6 times from the 3.4 times previously recorded last quarter.

Revenues reached U.S.$ 1,187.5 million during the third quarter of 2016 compared with the U.S.$ 1,207.3 million in the previous quarter, impacted by the lower revenues in our pulp and forestry business segments. Wood products remained stable compared to last quarter, slightly adjusting upward by 0.5%. Revenue from our energy sales decreased by 9.2% compared to last quarter, with lower prices having more impact than lower sales volume, the latter varying minimally. Average prices in our pulp business decreased 3.7% compared to last quarter, while sales volume slightly adjusted downward 0.2%. In our wood products business, average prices increased 0.9% compared to last quarter, and sales volume remained stable.

Table of Contents

Cost of sales for the third quarter of the year reached U.S.$ 885.2 million, U.S.$ 10.5 million or 1.2% higher than the U.S.$ 874.6 million obtained in the second quarter of 2016. Forestry labor costs increased by 17.0% or U.S.$ 24.5 million, mainly due to an accounting adjustment for amortizations of road constructions in forestry lands older than five years. Other raw materials and indirect costs also increased 6.7% or U.S.$ 6.2 million with respect to last quarter, because of an accounting adjustment as well. On the other hand, the items with the most decline in absolute value were timber; sawmill services, and energy and fuel, in line with the overall decline in sales volume in both the pulp and wood products segment.

Administrative expenses overall decreased by 3.1% or U.S.$ 4.3 million, mainly as a result of a 10.6% or U.S.$ 6.2 million decline in wage, salaries and severance indemnities. This decline is a consequence of a reversal of provisions, specifically pertaining the “SES Project”, a cost reduction initiative implemented in Chile, Argentina, and Brazil. The organizational simplification phase was completed during September of this year, and we have already begun working on the next phase, which involves the review of purchases and contracts. Insurance also decreased 29.3% or U.S$ 1.9 million since there was a renegotiation of the group insurance policy, favoring Arauco. In terms of increases this quarter, there was an increase of 39.6% or U.S.$ 4.0 million in fees compared to last quarter, due to expenses related to the “SES Project”.

The movement of the Chilean Peso and Argentina Peso affect our cash and cash equivalents as well as our receivables, among other items. This quarter the Chilean Peso depreciated by 0.2% against the U.S. dollar, which was greatly offset by the 1.3% appreciation of the Argentine Peso. The Brazilian Real appreciated 0.8% throughout this quarter, gaining 0.8% in value against the U.S. dollar, which in turn positively affected our U.S. dollar-denominated debt in that country.

ADJUSTED EBITDA

  

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2016 was U.S.$ 256.1 million, 9.6% or U.S.$ 27.2 million lower than the US$ 283.4 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, wood and forestry divisions of 15.2%, 3.3% and 32.0% respectively. Pulp EBITDA was impacted by prices, which continue an overall downward trend in both fibers. Forestry EBITDA was impacted by an accounting adjustment in forestry road costs. On the other hand, corporate and consolidation adjustments increased by U.S.$ 20.4 million, driven by one-time provision adjustments that occurred during this quarter, mainly due to the strategic initiative SES.

During the third quarter, prices dipped to the lowest levels during this year, although the mood has improved at quarter-end. Among other factors, growing supply from Europe and North America increased long fiber producer stocks by two days, while new supply from Brazil enabled short fiber producer stocks to increase by six days. Seasonality effects in the Northern hemisphere did not help matters, as the summer months brought with them less demand. Compared to the same quarter of last year, inventory levels for long fiber remained at similar levels, while hardwood levels increased by 10 days.

 

Despite leading price recoveries during the last quarter, this quarter Asia suffered a setback in prices, with China leading the way. Overall prices declined 6% in both fibers, which translated in adjustments of U.S.$ 25 to U.S.$ 30 in long fiber prices, and U.S.$30 to U.S.$ 40 in short fiber prices. The price gap between both fibers remained wide, with long fiber U.S.$ 110 above short fiber prices, incentivizing a higher use of short fiber over long fiber. The effect of additional volume from North America also pressured prices, although this new supply is planned to produce fluff pulp in the medium and long term as the fluff market develops and deepens. In the meantime, Asian markets remain attractive to enter rapidly and compete via prices to sell this excess supply. Printing and writing paper demand remained active, and exports increased as the local currency in Asian countries depreciated against the U.S. dollar.

 

The European market suffered minor adjustments of approximately 2% to 3% in both fibers, translating into a decline of U.S.$ 10 for long fiber prices and U.S.$ 20 for short fiber prices. Although the factors pressuring prices are similar to those affecting Asia, price declines were not as pronounced, especially since Asian prices recovered much more during the second quarter compared to European prices. Paper markets remained stagnant and even tissue producers experienced price slumps.

Markets in Latin America continued to be active, with the exception of Brazil with lower than average pulp prices due to the aggressive position of new supply within the country took within the local market. Middle Eastern markets followed global tendencies and special discount in spot prices were frequent in order to divert excess supply from more important and regular markets.

During this quarter, our production levels were normal, with maintenances stoppages in our Licancel Pulp Mill in July and Line 2 of our Arauco Pulp Mill at the end of August, both lasting approximately two weeks.

Our wood products segment showed mixed results during the third quarter, which overall maintained revenues stable compared to last quarter. Revenues of this segment adjusted of 0.5% upward, reaching U.S.$ 638.1 million. Prices improved in some regions, especially in Chilean and Brazilian markets. However, this price improvement was in detriment of sales volume, with both markets declining by 10.8% and 7.2% in sales volume, respectively. The opposite effect occurred in Argentina and other markets, with prices slightly dipping in favor of increased sales volume.

 

Within the panels market, there were overall stronger price increases than decreases throughout all markets, with the exception of Brazil which saw a minor decline in prices in MDF and PBO. Higher local competition within this market added pressure to prices in this country. The depreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar also gave way to lower returns in U.S. dollar terms for exports. Our melamine products, however, were well positioned and continued to reap the benefits. In North America, MDF had a positively sloped demand throughout the quarter, and imports from our production facilities in Brazil, Argentina and Chile increased in order to meet this higher demand. Particleboard sales did not fare as well, but maintained somewhat similar levels in terms of price and volume compared to last quarter. Sales in Mexico prospered and prices remained stable this quarter despite new MDF mills starting up locally. Products that differentiate us from our competitors, such as our melamine products, helped maintain sales volume. In Argentina, there was an upsurge in sales volume, despite exports being difficult to concrete. MDF moldings have also regained strength across markets.

 

Furthermore, sawn timber markets continued to recover. Asia and Oceania, one of our stronger markets within sawn timber sales showed a healthy demand, with China and Korea showing stable prices and sales volume. In the United States and Canada, Arauco was able to regain market position in Araucoply, as there was a stronger demand for these products throughout the region. This effect was slightly offset by higher sales volume from Latin American countries. Price hikes in pine moldings, though modest, have yet to affect our bottom line. Middle Eastern markets continue to show favorable results, expanding Arauco´s client base in India and consolidating price increases. Other markets, such as Latin America and the Caribbean and Europe, have shown stability, with plywood picking up strength in the latter.

THIRD QUARTER AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS AND NEWS

  

MDP Grayling project approved by Arauco Board of Directors

In October of this year, the project to build a new particleboard mill in Grayling Michigan was approved by Arauco’s Board of Directors, as well as state and local agencies. This mill will be North America’s largest single continuous particleboard press, with an annual capacity of 800,000 m3 of particleboard production, along with full lamination capabilities. Total investment amounts to U.S.$ 400 million. During construction, the project will create approximately 300 jobs in the Crawford County Township, and will create 250 jobs once in operation. Logistically, this mill will have an advantageous position of board supply to the region, positively impacting our customer network. Project is estimated to start up late 2018, and yearly sales estimated at U.S.$ 200 million per year once it is in full swing. Groundwork has already begun.
