MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

The following discussion is based on, and should be read in conjunction with, our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2019, included in this Form 6-K. Our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in US dollars in accordance with IFRS.

This section contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, without limitation, those set forth under “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 17, 2019 (our “2018 Form 20-F”).

Overview

We believe that we are one of Latin America’s largest forest plantation owners and one of the world’s largest producers of bleached and unbleached softwood kraft pulp, bleached hardwood kraft pulp and wood products in terms of production capacity. We have industrial operations in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, the United States and Canada. We also have industrial operations in Uruguay through our 50% share in Montes del Plata and in Spain, Portugal, Germany and South Africa through our 50% share in Sonae Arauco. As of June 30, 2019, we had more than 1.0 million hectares of plantations in Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay combined.

During 2018 and the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, (i) we sold 3.7 million and 1.8 million metric tonnes of pulp, respectively, in the form of hardwood bleached pulp, softwood bleached pulp, softwood unbleached pulp and fluff pulp; (ii) we sold 8.2 million and 4.2 million cubic meters of wood products, respectively, including sawn timber (green and kiln-dried lumber), remanufactured wood products, plywood and fiberboard panels; and (iii) we harvested 22.3 million and 10.1 million cubic meters of sawlogs and pulplogs, respectively. In 2018 and the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, export sales constituted approximately 67.8% and 63.8% of our total revenue, respectively. During 2018, sales in Asia, South and Central America and North America accounted for 40.1%, 23.4% and 24.8% of our total revenue for such year, respectively.

As of June 30, 2019, our planted forests consisted of approximately 64.3% radiata, taeda and elliottii pine and approximately 33.4% eucalyptus. We seek to manage our forestry resources sustainably, in a way that ensures that the annual growth of our forests is equal to or greater than the volume of resources harvested each year. In 2018 and the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, we planted a total of 85,243 and 32,189 hectares, respectively, and harvested a total of 65,441 and 23,050 hectares, respectively, in Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay.

We operate our forestry business through three main divisions: pulp, wood products and forestry products. During 2018 and the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, (i) our pulp revenues were US$2,955 million and US$1,227 million, respectively, representing 49.6% and 44.8% of our total revenue for such respective periods; (ii) our wood products revenues were US$2,762 million and US$1,424 million, respectively, representing 46.4% and 52.0% of our total revenue for such respective periods and (iii) our forestry products revenues (from sales to third parties) were US$107.4 million and US$61.1 million, respectively, representing 1.8% and 2.2% of our total revenue for such respective periods.

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

Our results of operations are affected by numerous factors. Our profitability is highly sensitive to changes in sales volumes and prices, one of the primary drivers of which is demand in our principal export markets. Demand levels are highly dependent on cyclical and structural changes in the world economy, changes in industry capacity, output levels and customer inventory levels. As with many commodities, pulp is subject to significant cyclical price fluctuations determined by global supply and demand, and, accordingly, our results of operations are subject to cyclical fluctuations. Prices for wood products and forestry products also fluctuate significantly. Although prices tend to have the most significant effect on our results of operations, sales volume and product mix, production costs and exchange rate fluctuations also can have a substantial impact on our results of operations.

Because many of these factors are beyond our control, and certain of these factors have historically been volatile, our past performance is not necessarily indicative of our future performance which is difficult to predict with any degree of certainty.

Exchange Rate Fluctuations

We generally price our exports in US dollars, whereas our domestic sales in Chile are priced in Chilean pesos except for pulp sales, which are priced in US dollars; domestic sales in Brazil are priced in Brazilian reals; domestic sales in Argentina are priced in Argentine pesos except for pulp sales, which are priced in US dollars; domestic sales in Mexico are priced in Mexican pesos and domestic sales in the US and Canada are priced in US dollars. To the extent that the Chilean peso depreciates against the US dollar, our domestic revenues may be adversely affected when expressed in US dollars. The same effects may occur for our domestic sales in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico for products sold in Argentine pesos, Brazilian reals and Mexican pesos, respectively.

The Chilean peso has been subject to devaluation in the past and could be subject to significant fluctuations in the future. During 2018, the value of the Chilean peso relative to the US dollar decreased by 14.0% in nominal terms. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, the value of the Chilean peso relative to the US dollar decreased 2.2% in nominal terms. The observed exchange rate on June 30, 2019, as published in the Official Gazette on July 1, 2019, was Ch$679.15 to US$1.00. For information regarding historical rates of exchange in Chile from January 1, 2012, see “Item 3. Key Information—Exchange Rates” in our 2018 Form 20-F.

The effect of exchange rate fluctuations is partially offset by the fact that certain of our operating expenses are denominated in US dollars (such as our freight costs, chemicals, spare parts, and others, as well as our selling expenses in the form of commissions paid to our sales agents abroad) and a significant part of our indebtedness is denominated in US dollars. As of June 30, 2019, our US dollar-denominated indebtedness was US$5.7 billion. In addition, as the US dollar appreciates against the legal currency in any of our export markets, we must from time to time price our sales in the legal currency of the relevant jurisdiction to compete effectively.

Exchange rate fluctuations (as well as other economic, political and regulatory developments) in the Chilean, Argentine, Brazilian, Uruguayan, Canadian and Mexican economies may impair our ability to execute our business plan, including with respect to pricing. For additional discussion regarding the risks we face in each of the aforementioned markets, see “Item 3. Key Information—Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Chile,” “—Risks Relating to Argentina,” “—Risks Relating to Brazil,” “—Risks Relating to Uruguay” and “—Risks Relating to the United States and Canada” in our 2018 Form 20-F.

Prices for our Products

Price volatility in our markets is a principal factor affecting our results of operation. The prices for each of our pulp, wood products and forestry products depend on conditions in the markets in which they are sold. While prices are generally similar for a given product on a global basis, regionalized market conditions affect prices in markets such as Asia, Europe and the United States.

The following table presents average unit prices of our main products for the periods indicated (based on internally collected data).

Pulp Prices

Overview

Historically, world pulp prices have been subject to significant fluctuations over relatively short periods of time. Pulp prices mainly depend on worldwide demand, world production capacity, worldwide pulp and paper inventory levels and availability of substitutes, and in general terms, are directly related to global economic growth. All of these factors are beyond our control. See “Item 3. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Us and the Forestry Industry— Fluctuations in market price for our products could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows” in our 2018 Form 20-F.

Prices for bleached grades of hardwood pulp, including eucalyptus, generally follow the same cyclical pattern as prices for NBSK (as defined below), which is the benchmark for bleached softwood kraft pulp. However, the latter historically has had higher prices mainly due to lower global supply. Moreover, during the last five years, the majority of the added global pulp production capacity has been dedicated to the production of hardwood pulp, particularly eucalyptus pulp.

Prices for unbleached softwood market pulp also follow cyclical patterns related to worldwide demand, stock levels and supply. Based on information published by Hawkins Wright Ltd., unbleached softwood market pulp represents approximately 3.6% of the total wood pulp market. The majority of such pulp is sold in Asia, and its price does not necessarily follow the cycle of prices for Norscan bleached softwood kraft market pulp (pulp produced in North American, Nordic and Central European countries and sold to manufacturers of paper products delivered in Northern Europe, or “NBSK”) or bleached hardwood kraft pulp (pulp made from eucalyptus or birch which is sold in Europe and is the benchmark for Bleached Eucalyptus Kraft Pulp, or “BEKP”). In 2015, a new pulp mill entered the short fiber pulp market with an annual production capacity of 1.3 million tonnes. During the first half of 2015 the short fiber market remained stable, with a peak price of US$811.2 per tonne in October 2015. Following the October 2015 peak, BEKP prices began to decrease as a result of the global economic downturn and lower demand in the Chinese market as a result of the devaluation of the Yuan, ending the year at a price of US$788.9 per tonne. Expectations of new supply during 2016 and especially in 2017 continued to pressure prices down, reaching their lowest level for 2016 in December 2016, at US$652.58 per tonne. A new pulp mill located in Indonesia began its ramp-up in November 2016. With an annual capacity of 2.8 million tonnes, it is currently one of the largest pulp mills worldwide. Throughout 2015 and the first half of 2016, NBSK prices followed a downward trend, reaching US$789.2 per tonne at the end of April 2016. For the remainder of the year, prices slightly recovered and stabilized, finishing the year at US$808.83 per tonne.

During 2017, average prices of BEKP and NBSK followed an upward trend, with NBSK reaching US$999.63 per tonne at the end of the year, the highest level since 2011. BEKP prices increased significantly during 2017 reaching US$979.31 at the end of the year (the rise in this type of fiber has reduced the gap between both fibers). Prices increased mainly because the actual capacity of the mill located in Indonesia was lower than the expected capacity for the next three to four years and the lower production of other existing mills due to operational problems. Average prices of Norscan bleached softwood kraft market pulp sold in China (“NBSK (China)”) and bleached hardwood kraft pulp sold in China (“BEKP (China)”) also increased in 2017 reaching US$886.35 per tonne and US$768.57 per tonne, respectively, at the end of 2017. Demand had a steady rise during 2017, which also drove prices to reach higher levels.

During 2018, average prices of NBSK, BEKP, NBSK (China) and BEKP (China) followed an upward trend, slightly decreasing in the last part of the year, with NBSK, BEKP, NBSK (China) and BEKP (China) reaching US$1,200.02 per tonne, US$1,025.73 per tonne, US$723.07 per tonne and US$652.51 per tonne, respectively. The positive trend during most of the year was mainly due to strong demand and stable capacity levels, while the slight decrease at the end of 2018 was mainly driven by trade tensions between China and the United States. Inventory levels increased in 2018, with inventories held by pulp producers and consumers reaching approximately 7.4 million tonnes and 3.5 million tonnes, respectively, in December 2018, compared to 5.5 million tonnes and 4.2 million tonnes, respectively, in December 2017.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, average prices of NBSK, BEKP, NBSK (China) and BEKP (China) declined to US$1,000.31 per tonne, US$902.24 per tonne, US$593.97 per tonne and US$547.55 per tonne, respectively, due to a decrease at the end of June. This decrease in average prices was primarily due to escalating trade tensions between the

United States and China, which generated lower paper demand and historically high inventory levels, which, in turn, resulted in lower pulp demand. Inventories held by pulp producers and consumers reached approximately 8.1 million tonnes and 3.0 million tonnes, respectively, in June 3019. With respect to production capacity, no new capacity entered the market during this period, and no events that could limit the total production capacity occurred.

Wood Products Prices

During 2016, average prices for our fiberboard panels and sawn timber (which for 2016 includes plywood and remanufactured products) declined 0.7% and 2.7% respectively, in each case compared to 2015. Sales volumes decreased compared to 2015, with fiberboard panels sales volume dropping 3.3% and sawn timber sales volume (which for 2016 includes plywood and remanufactured products) dropping 4.6% in 2016. Argentine markets continued to be pressured during 2016, and opportunities to export to other countries were limited. Brazilian markets followed a similar trend, although there were higher export opportunities, where the depreciation of their local currency against the US dollar made costs more competitive. These export opportunities were mainly to North America, where higher supply volumes entered the market, partially offset by healthy demand throughout the year. Our new commercial sales office in the Middle East also enabled us to reach new customers in 2016 and increase our presence in those markets.

During 2017, average prices for our wood products division increased 5.1% compared to 2016. The fiberboard panels market increased in average prices and sales volume by 4.7% and 2.4%, respectively, in 2017 compared to 2016. Our sawn timber average prices increased 4.7% in 2017 compared to 2016, partially offset by a decrease of 5.3% in sales volume. North American market demand improved in 2017 fueled by the construction and retail sectors. The Brazilian market has been recovering slowly after the economic and political crisis. The Argentine market improved in sales volume in 2017. Despite the new medium-density fiberboard (“MDF”) mills in Brazil and Mexico that increased competition, we were able to maintain and increase prices in those markets. With the acquisition of the assets of Masisa in Brazil, we expect to consolidate our position in the market.

During 2018, average prices of our wood products decreased 1.7% compared to 2017. In 2018, average prices for our fiberboard panels decreased 5.6% while sales volumes increased 11.2%, in each case compared to 2017. The downward trend in average prices was explained by an oversupply mainly from Brazil, Chile, the United States and Asia and seasonality in the northern hemisphere. Average prices for our sawn timber increased 5.5% in 2018, partially offset by a 2.9% decrease in sales volume, which was mainly explained by lower demand from China, which in turn was related to the uncertainty surrounding the trade tensions between China and the United States.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, average prices for our wood products decreased 3.5%, and sales volume increased by 3.3%, in each case compared to the same period in 2018. Average prices for our fiberboard panels and sawn timber decreased 2.5% and 4.6%, respectively, during the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. The decrease in prices in both fiberboard panels and sawn timber was primarily due to an oversupply from Brazil, Chile, the United States and Asia and lower demand from China, respectively. The downward trend seen in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 was primarily attributable to escalating trade tensions between China and the United States.

Six-Month Period Ended June 30, 2018 Compared to Six-Month Period Ended June 30, 2019

Revenue

Our revenue decreased 9.4% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, from US$3,024.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to US$2,739.8 million for the same period in 2019, primarily as a result of a decrease of 18.3%, or US$275.0 million, in revenue from pulp and 0.4%, or US$5.1 million, in revenue from wood products, which was partially offset by an increase of 5.2%, or US$3.0 million, in revenue from forestry products.

Pulp

Revenue from sales of bleached and unbleached pulp decreased 18.3% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, from US$1,502.2 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to US$1,227.2 million in the same period of 2019. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in average pulp prices and sales volume of 14.3% and 4.7%, respectively, in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019. Revenue from bleached pulp decreased 17.3% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, from US$1,289.1 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to US$1,066.4 million in the same period of 2019, mainly due to a decrease of 14.2% and 3.5% in average prices and sales volume in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, respectively. Revenue from unbleached pulp decreased 24.5% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, from US$213.1 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to US$160.8 million in the same period of 2019, mainly due to a decrease of 13.9% and 12.4% in average prices and sales volume in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

Pulp prices (for both NBSK and BEKP indexes) reached historically high levels in the first half of 2018 and decreased at the end of 2018 and through the first half of 2019. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, NBSK and BEKP indexes average prices were US$1,000.31 and US$902.24 per tonne, respectively, compared to US$1,199.99 and US$1,050.00 per tonne, respectively in the same period in 2018. This decrease in average prices was primarily attributable to escalating trade tensions between the United States and China in 2019, which affected paper and packaging demand and production, which in turn negatively affected pulp demand primarily from China, exerting significant downward pressure on pulp prices and sales volumes. As a result of this decrease in pulp demand, pulp inventories increased at ports and competitors’ warehouses, further intensifying the decrease in pulp prices in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019.

Wood Products

Revenue from wood products decreased 0.37% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, from US$1,367.1 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to US$1,362.0 million during the same period in 2019. This slight decrease was primarily attributable to a 22.5% decrease in revenue from plywood, offset by a 3.6% increase in revenue from fiberboard panels.

Revenue from fiberboard panels increased 3.6% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, from US$866.5 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to US$897.7 million during the same period in 2019. This increase was primarily attributable to a 6.2% increase in sales volume, partially offset by a 2.5% decrease in average prices. Sales volume of particleboard (“PBO”) increased 13.3% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, primarily as a result of (i) the acquisition of our Mexican subsidiaries in January 2019 that increased our sales and (ii) higher demand in the US and Canada. Medium-density fiberboard (“MDF”) sales volume remained stable in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, increasing only 0.6% in such period compared to the same period in 2018. Prices of MDF and PBO decreased 2.0% and 1.1% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, respectively, mainly attributable to Latin American demand being affected by slow economies, particularly in Brazil and Argentina. In addition, MDF oversupply from Brazil was exported to some Latin American countries, which resulted in downward pressure on MDF prices. MDF demand in North America remained stable.

Revenue from plywood decreased 22.6% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, from US$132.5 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to US$102.6 million during the same period in 2019. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of 17.4% and 6.2% in sales volume and average prices in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019. This decrease in plywood average prices was primarily driven by a combination of lower demand and oversupply particularly from Brazil, Chile and China.

Revenue from sawn timber decreased 1.4% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, from US$240.0 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to US$236.7 million during the same period in 2019. This decrease was primarily attributable to a 4.6% decrease in average prices, partially offset by a 3.3% increase in sales volume in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in average prices of sawn timber was mainly attributable to oversupply from Brazil, Europe and Canada.

Revenue from remanufactured wood products decreased 2.3% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, from US$128.0 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to US$125 million during the same period in 2019. This decrease was primarily attributable to a 6.3% decrease in sales volume, partially offset by a 4.2% increase in average prices primarily attributable to lower supply and healthy demand from the United States.

Forestry Products

Revenue from forestry products increased 5.2% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, from US$58.1 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to US$61.1 million during the same period in 2019. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase of 53.7% and 5.5% in revenue from pulplogs and sawlogs, respectively, as a result of higher sales volume.

Other

Revenue from other sources, consisting primarily of sales of energy and chemicals, decreased 7.6% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, from US$96.7 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to US$89.4 million for the same period in 2019. This decrease was primarily attributable to a 42.5% decrease, or US$22.7 million, in revenue from the sale of energy, due to lower third parties sales. This decrease in revenues from the sale of energy was partially offset by a 46.5% increase, or US$11.2 million, in revenues from sales of chemicals.

This increase was primarily as a result of (i) an 11.1% increase, or US$39.7 million, in timber cost, mainly due to a higher timber purchase volume and the ramp-up of our Grayling mill in the United States; and (ii) an increase of US$36.5 million in depreciation for the right of use pursuant to operational leases with a term exceeding 12 months (which we now register as assets, in accordance with IFRS 16 which became effective on January 1, 2019). These increases were offset by a 15.5%, or US$51.5 million, decrease in forestry labor costs in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, primarily attributable to lower sales volume.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit decreased from US$1,165.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to US$833.9 for the same period in 2019, primarily attributable to a 9.4% decrease in our revenue, mainly explained by the decrease in pulp revenue described above. As a percent of total revenues, our gross profit decreased from 38.6% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to 30.4% for the same period in 2019, primarily attributable to lower revenues.

Other Income

Other income increased 98.5% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, from US$66.5 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to US$132.0 million in the same period in 2019. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase of US$40.8 million in gain on sales of associates due to our sale of shares of Puertos y Logística S.A. in April 2019 and an increase of 43.3%, or US$22.5 million, in gain of change in fair value of biological assets.

Distribution Costs

Distribution costs increased 7.7% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, from US$267.7 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to US$288.1 million in the same period in 2019, primarily as a result of a 17.4%, or US$34.6 million, increase in freight costs, mainly driven by higher freight rates.

Other Expenses

Other expenses increased 48.8% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, from US$33.6 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to US$50.0 million for the same period in 2019, primarily as a result of an increase in our provision for forestry losses due to fire, from US$0.6 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to US$6.2 million in the same period of 2019.

Finance Costs

Finance costs increased 23.1% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, from US$103.1 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to US$126.9 million in the same period in 2019, primarily as a result of a US$8.5 million increase in our bond interest expense associated with our international bond issuance in April 2019 and a US$6.4 million increase in leasing interest expense (due to interest costs relating to leases, which we now register as lease liabilities in accordance with IFRS 16 that became effective on January 1, 2019).

Exchange Rate Differences

We recorded a 55.6% decrease in exchange rate difference in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, from a loss of US$16.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to a loss of US$7.2 million for the same period in 2019, primarily as a result of the depreciation of the average Argentine peso against the US dollar of approximately 90.0% and a depreciation of approximately 10.4% of the average Chilean peso against the US dollar, both of which had the effect of reducing the amount of our Argentine and Chilean peso-denominated cash and cash equivalents when converted to US dollars.

Income Tax

We recorded an income tax expense of US$47.0 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, which represented a decrease of 62.3% compared to US$124.7 million in income tax expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, primarily as a result of lower profit before tax in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are funds from operations, domestic and international borrowings from commercial and investment banks and debt offerings in the domestic and international capital markets.

We also have access to two committed credit facility lines aggregating approximately US$318.5 million. The first line has an available amount of UF 2,885,000, or approximately US$118.5 million, based on the exchange rates as of June 30, 2019 and is scheduled to expire on January 29, 2020. The second line has a maximum available amount of US$200.0 million and is scheduled to expire on March 27, 2020. To date, we have not utilized either of these credit facilities.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

Our net cash flow provided by operating activities decreased 72.6% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, from US$481.9 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to US$132.0 million in the same period in 2019, primarily as a result of a US$203.2 million increase in income tax paid in 2019, associated to higher profit before tax in 2018, which is the base for the annual income tax paid in April, 2019.

Cash Flow Used in Investing Activities

Our net cash used in investing activities increased 64.6% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, from US$376.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to US$619.2 million for the same period in 2019, primarily due to a 78.0% increase, or US$194.5 million, in purchase of property, plant and equipment associated to the MAPA Project. Additionally, cash flow used in investing activities was affected by our acquisition of the Mexican subsidiaries for US$160.0 million in January 2019. This increase in cash used in investing activities was partially offset by the cash inflow from the sale of our shares of Puertos y Logística S.A. for US$102.1 million in April 2019.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

Our net cash from financing activities increased 746.8% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, from US$101.4 million used in the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to US$655.6 million in the same period of 2019, primarily as a result of a US$989.5 million increase in outstanding debt due to our issuance of an international bond in April 2019. This increase in outstanding debt was partially offset by a 92.8% decrease, or US$186.0 million, in incurrence of short-term debt.

Contractual Obligations

In accordance with customary practice in the pulp industry, we generally do not enter into long-term sales contracts with our customers. Instead, we generally prefer to maintain long-term relationships with certain customers with whom we reach agreements from time to time on specific volumes and prices.

The following table sets forth certain of our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2019 and the period in which such contractual obligations are scheduled to come due.

(1)

Includes estimated interest payments related to long-term debt obligations based on market values as of June 30, 2019. In the case of floating rate debt, interest rate is calculated using the current index setting in place as of June 30, 2019, and assuming no changes in the year-end index for any future periods. The interest rate on our floating rate debt is determined principally by reference to the London inter-bank offered rate (LIBOR), and, as of June 30, 2019, the average spread for our US dollar floating rate debt over six-month LIBOR was 1.55%. Approximately 10.5% of our total debt is floating rate debt as of June 30, 2019.

(2)

Excludes contracts entered into with independent contractors to perform operations on our behalf. Our payment obligations under such contracts are not pre-determined, but rather depend on the performance of certain variables. Accordingly, we cannot quantify our contractual obligations under such contracts.

Investment Activities

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, our main investment activities were as follows:

 

   

US$215.8 million relating to the MAPA Project;

 

   

US$115.0 million relating to investments in biological assets;

 

   

US$56.9 million relating to investments in our Dissolving Pulp Project; and

 

   

US$30.2 million relating to investments in the construction of our particleboard plant in Grayling, Michigan, United States.

Financing Activities

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, our main financing activities were as follows:

 

   

On April 1, 2019, we entered into an Export Credit Agreement (ECA) for a total of € 555.0 million.

 

   

On April 30, 2019, we issued two bonds in the international market: (i) US$500 million principal amount of 4.25% Notes due 2029 and (ii) US$500 million principal amount of 5.50% Notes due 2049. We used part of the proceeds from the issuance of such notes to repurchase a portion of our outstanding 7.250% Notes due 2019 and 5.000% Notes due 2021.

As of June 30, 2019, we had US$196.8 million of short-term bank debt, of which 96.6% was US dollar-denominated, and US$757.9 million of long-term bank debt, of which 90.8% was US dollar-denominated. In addition, as of June 30, 2019, we guaranteed US$363.3 million of obligations of our Montes del Plata joint operation in Uruguay.

As of June 30, 2019, we had US$4,417.6 million of outstanding bonds (including the current portion of such debt), of which 66.7% was US dollar-denominated and 33.3% was UF-denominated swapped to US dollars.

The interest rate on our variable rate debt is determined mainly by reference to the London inter-bank offered rate (LIBOR), and, as of June 30, 2019, the average interest rate for our US dollar floating rate debt over six-month LIBOR was 1.55%. As of June 30, 2019, the average interest rate for our US dollar fixed rate debt was 4.19%. These average rates do not reflect the effect of swap agreements and subsequent unwinds effective as of June 30.

The instruments and agreements governing our bank loans and local bonds contain certain financial covenants that limit our incurrence of debt and other liabilities. The main financial covenants contained in our bank loan agreements are that our (i) debt to equity ratio must not exceed 1.2 to 1 and (ii) net interest coverage ratio must not be less than 2.0 to 1. The main financial covenant contained in our local bond agreements is that our debt to equity ratio must not exceed 1.2 to 1.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At June 30, 2019, we did not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements.

These interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) at the Extraordinary Meeting No. 615 on August 19, 2019.

Abbreviations used in this report:

IFRS - International Financial Reporting Standards

IASB - International Accounting Standards Board

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 reportable 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 wood products and forestry reportable 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 currency used to finance operations is mainly the U.S. Dollar.

The presentation currency of the interim 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.$).

Summary of significant accounting policies

 

a)

Basis for preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements

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

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

AND SUBSIDIARIES

- 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. The aforementioned 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 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 the 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 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 consolidated financial statements for transactions and other events in similar circumstances, appropriate adjustments are made to the interim consolidated 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 these interim consolidated financial statements and non-controlling interest is presented in the interim 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, Argentine Pesos, Canadian Dollars 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 as indicated in Note 1 (e) (ii).

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

 

d)

Segments

Arauco has defined its reportable 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 personnel responsible for making such decisions are the Executive Vice-president and the Chief Executive Officer who are the highest authorities for making decisions and are supported by the Corporate Managing Directors of each segment.

Based on the aforementioned process, the Company has established reportable segments according to the following business units:

 

   

Pulp

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 statements of profit or loss, 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-on-hand, deposits held on demand at financial entities 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.

Financial Instruments

Financial assets

Initial classification

Arauco classifies its financial assets into the following categories: fair value through profit or loss and amortized cost.

Arauco does not have financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.

The classification is based on the business model used to manage the assets and the characteristics of their contractual cash flows.

Management determines the classification of its financial assets at the time of their initial recognition.

(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: these instruments are initially measured at fair value. Net income and losses, including any income from interest or dividends, are registered in the profit or loss of the period. Financial assets are classified in the category of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss when they are maintained for negotiation or designated in their initial registration as assets at fair value through profit or loss. A financial asset can be classified in this category if it is acquired mainly for the purposes of being sold in the short-term. Gain or losses of assets held for negotiations are registered in the consolidated statements of Profit or Loss, and the related interest is registered independently as financial income. Derivatives are classified as acquired for negotiation also unless they are designated as hedging instruments.

(b) Assets measured at amortized cost: they are initially registered at the fair value of the transaction, adding or subtracting the transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the financial asset or financial liability. The financial asset is maintained within a business model, the objective of which is to maintain financial assets to obtain contractual cash flows and the contractual conditions of the asset give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interests (“SPPI”) over the amount of the outstanding principal.

Subsequent measurement

Financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss or amortized cost.

The classification is based on two criteria: i) the Company’s business model for the management of financial instruments, and ii) whether the contractual cash flows related to the financial instruments represent “Solely Payments of Principal and Interests”.

a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: these instruments are subsequently measured at fair value. Net earnings and losses, including income from interests and dividends, are registered as profits or losses for the period. These instruments are held for negotiation and they are mainly acquired to be sold in the short term. Derivatives are also classified as held for negotiation, unless they are registered as hedging instruments. Financial instruments of this type are classified as Other Current and Non-Current Financial Assets. They are subsequently valuated by determining their fair value, registering changes in value in the interim consolidated statements of Profit or Loss, in the items of Financial Income or Financial Costs.

b) Financial assets measured at amortized cost: These instruments are subsequently measured at amortized cost minus accumulated amortizations, using the effective interest method and adjusted by loss allowance and volume discounts, in the case of financial assets. Financial income and expenses, foreign exchange income and losses, and impairment are registered in results. Any earnings or losses due to initial or subsequent reductions of the value of the asset are registered in the statement of profit or loss of the period. Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial instruments with fixed or determinable payments not traded in any active market. They are registered at amortized cost, registering accrued conditions directly in profit or loss.

Arauco measures accumulated losses in a quantity equivalent to expected credit losses during the lifelong commitment. Expected credit losses are based on contractual cash flow differences based on the allowance of each contract and the cash flows that Arauco expects. The difference is then discounted based on an approximation of the asset’s original effective interest rate. The asset’s carrying value is reduced as the allowance is used, and the loss is recognized in sales expenses in the financial statements. When an account receivable cannot be collected, it is regularized against the allowance account for receivables. Subsequent recoveries of previously impaired amounts are recognized as a debit in distribution costs.

Derivative financial instruments are explained in Note 1 h).

Financial liabilities

Arauco classifies its financial liabilities as follows: fair value through profit or loss, derivatives designated as effective hedging instruments and amortized costs.

Management determines the classification of its financial liabilities upon initial recognition. Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation is cancelled, settled or expired. When an existing financial liability is replaced with another of the same provider under substantially different terms, or where the terms of an existing liability are substantially amended, such exchange or modification is treated as a write-off of the original liability, with a new liability being recognized, and the difference between the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the interim consolidated statement of profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value, and in the case of loans, they include the costs directly attributable to the transaction. The subsequent measurement of the financial liabilities depends on their classification:

Financial Liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities are included in the category of financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss when they are held for trading or originally designated at fair value through profit or loss. Income and losses from liabilities held for trading are recognized in profit or loss. This category includes non-designated derivatives for hedging accounting.

Financial Liabilities at amortized cost

Other financial liabilities are subsequently valued at their amortized cost based on the effective interest rate method. The amortized cost is calculated taking into account any premium or acquisition discount, and includes the costs of transactions that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. This category includes Commercial Accounts Payable and Other Accounts Payable, lease liabilities, as well as the loans included in Other Current and Non-Current Financial Liabilities.

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 to enter into derivatives contracts only for economic hedging purposes and there are no instruments with speculation objectives.

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, 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 - 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.

-Cash flow hedges - 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 interim 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 measured at the lower of cost or 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 interim consolidated statements of financial position are the subject of active sale efforts which are estimated to be highly probable.

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 acquiree or share-based payment arrangements of the Group entered into to replace share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree 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 IFRS 9.

A parent will present non-controlling interests in the interim 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 acquirer’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 each stage (“step acquisition”), recognizing the effects of remeasurement of previously held equity in the acquiree in the statements of profit or loss.

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 the portion corresponding to the statement of profit or loss or to the statement of 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 acquisition cost is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the associate acquired, the difference is recognized directly in statement of profit or loss in line Other gains (losses).

Investments in associates and joint ventures are presented in the interim consolidated statement of financial position in the line item “Investments accounted for using equity method”.

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

m)

Intangible assets 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 acquired company, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquired company (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 statements of profit or loss.

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 acquired company 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 in subsidiaries Arauco Canada Ltd., Arauco do Brasil S.A. and Arauco Argentina S.A., generated on subsidiaries acquisitions whose functional currency is different from the functional currency of the parent company and presentation of these financial statements, are translated into U.S. Dollars at the closing exchange rate.

 

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 IFRS 16 for recognizing leases in a manner consistent with contracts with similar features and akin circumstances.

At the beginning of a contract, Arauco assesses whether the contract is, or if it contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if it transfers the right to control the use of a given asset for a certain period of time, in exchange for consideration.

As of the initial date for recording a lease, Arauco, as lessee, recognizes an asset by the right of use at cost.

The cost of the asset for right of use comprises:

 

  -

The amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability. This measurement is at present value of the payments for leases that have not been disbursed as of that date. Payments for leases are discounted using the incremental interest rate for financial loans;

 

  -

Payments for leases performed prior to or as of the initiation date, minus the lease incentives that have been received;

 

  -

The initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and

 

  -

An estimation of the costs to be incurred by the lessee when dismantling and eliminating the underlying asset, restoring the location where the same is located, or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required under the terms and conditions of the lease, unless such costs are incurred in order to produce

  inventories. The lessee assumes obligations stemming from such costs either at the commencement date, or as a result of having used the underlying asset during a specific period.

After the initial recognition date (January 1, 2019), Arauco, as lessee, recognizes its asset for right of use by applying the cost model, minus the accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for remesurement of the lease liability.

At the beginning, Arauco in the capacity of lessee, recognizes the lease liability at present value of the lease payments that have not been disbursed as of that date. Lease payments are discounted using the incremental interest rate for financial loans.

After the initial recognition date (January 1, 2019), Arauco, as lessee, recognizes a liability for leases by increasing the book value, so as to reflect the interest over the liability for lease, reducing the amount in order to reflect the payments for leases that have been performed and once again recognizing the book value, so as to reflect the remeasurement and also to reflect the essential fixed payments for leases that have been revised.

Arauco presents the assets by right of use in the Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, within Properties, Plants and Equipment, and are further disclosed in Note 7. Likewise, lease liabilities are included in the Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position within Other Current and Non-Current Financial Liabilities, and further disclosed as Lease liabilities in note 23.

 

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 interim consolidated statement of profit or loss.

r)

Income taxes

The tax liabilities are recognized in the interim 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 taxes are recognized in accordance with the standards established in IAS 12 - Income Tax.

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, under which, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and when 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 valued at fair value of the consideration received or to be received, derived from them.

Arauco analyses and takes under consideration all relevant facts and circumtances to apply the five-step model established under IFRS 15 to customer contracts: (i) identify the contract, (ii) identify the performance obligations, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price, and (v) recognise revenue. Aditionally, Arauco evaluates the incremental costs of obtaining a contract and the costs incurred to comply with a contract.

Arauco recognizes revenues when the steps established in IFRS have been satisfactorily complied with.

Accounts receivable are recognized when control over goods or services has been transferred to the customer, because at this point of the time collection is unconditional and the passage of time is only needed to receive payment.

(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 committed 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. Revenue from the sale of goods are recognized when there is no obligation unsatisfied that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the product. The delivery is effective when the products are sent to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer and when Arauco has objective evidence that all acceptance criteria have been satisfied.

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. 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

Revenue from the rendering of services is recognized as long as the performance obligation have been satisfied.

Revenue is recognized considering the stage of completion of the transaction at the date of the reporting period, when Arauco has the enforceable right of payment from the rendering of the services.

There is no significant financing component, given that sales are made with a reduced average collection period, which is in line with market practice.

Arauco mainly provides power supply services which are transacted principally in the spot market of the Sistema Eléctrico Nacional (SEN) (“National Electrical System”). According to current regulations, the prices on that market called “Marginal Costs” are calculated by the Coordinador Eléctrico Nacional (CEN) (“National Electrical Coordinator”) 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 SEN.

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

Revenues from reportable 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 interim consolidated 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 interim 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.

Impairment

Non-financial Assets

The recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment and other long-term 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 a reversal of an impairment loss shall not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior 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.

An allowance for doubtful accounts is established based on a measurement of expected losses using a simplified approach.

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 line item “Trade and Other current payables” in the interim consolidated statements of financial position.

The adoption of the standards, amendments and interpretations described above do not have a significant impact on Arauco’s Interim Consolidated Financial Statements during its initial application period, with exception of the following paragraphs related to IFRS 16.

IFRS 16 - Leases

Arauco has decided to apply IFRS 16 for the first time, starting on January 1, 2019.

IFRS 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model. The lessee is required to recognize an asset a right of use representing its right to use the underlying leased asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. There are recognition exceptions for short-term leases or low-value leases. Accounting for lessors remains similar to IAS 17, that means, lessors continue classifiying the leases as financial or operational.

Entities can apply IFRS 16 using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach for leases. If the company applies the modified retrospective approach it is not required to restate the comparative financial information and the cumulative effect of the initial application of IFRS 16 must be presented as an adjustment to the opening balances of retained earnings.

Arauco has adopted to recognize the cumulative effect of the initial application of the standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2019. Given this alternative, it is not required to restate the comparative information

The following table shows the initial effects of the adoption of IFRS 16 as of January 1, 2019 on the Arauco Interim Consolidated Financial Statements:

NOTE 2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Changes to accounting policies

Arauco has decided to apply IFRS 16 Leases, in accordance with the transition options of this standard, retroactively with the accumulated effect of the initial application, recognized on January 1, 2019, without re-expressing its comparative financial statements as of December 31, 2018.

Arauco has adopted IFRS 16, recognizing liabilities in connection with leases that had been previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17 – Leases.

The lease liabilities under IFRS 16 were measured at the present value of the remaining payments for leases, discounted using the average incremental rate of 3.99%, applied as of January 1, 2019.

The assets by right of use were measured by an amount equivalent to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any lease payment that was prepaid or accumulated, in connection with the lease recognized in the balance sheet as of December 31, 2018.

As a consequence of the adoption of IFRS 16, Properties, Plants and Equipment increased by ThU.S.$286,387 and Other Financial Liabilities by ThU.S.$283,619 on January 1, 2019. The following table shows a reconciliation between both amounts.

 

     January 1, 2019
ThU.S.$
 

Right of use assets

     286,387  

Advances granted

     (4,308

Sublease

     1,540  

Lease liabilities

     283,619  

Advances granted are presented net in the line of other financial liabilities.

Sublease has a net impact on the Acumulated earnings on January 1, 2019 of ThU.S.$ 107.

Upon applying IFRS 16, Arauco chose not to apply the requirements for recognizing a liability and an asset for right of use for the leases which term expires within the 12 months following January 1, 2019 and for those where the underlying asset had insignificant value. The payments related to those leases are recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense in the interim consolidated statement of profit or loss.

Changes to accounting estimates

As of June 30, 2019, there have been no changes regarding the accounting estimates with respect to the 2018 financial year.

b)

Dividends paid

The interim dividend paid in December 2018 was equivalent to 20% of the distributable net profit calculated as of the end of September 2018 and was considered a decrease in the interim consolidated statements of changes in equity.

The final dividend paid each year in May corresponds to the difference between the 40% of the prior year distributable net profit and the amount of the interim dividend paid, which is considered a decrease to the interim dividend already paid.

The amount of ThU.S.$80,992 (ThU.S.$ 189,546 as of June 30, 2018) presented in the interim consolidated statements of changes in equity correspond to the minimum dividend provision recorded for the period 2019.

In the interim consolidated statements of cash flows, the Dividends Paid line shows an amount of ThU.S.$ 182,109 as of June 30, 2019 (ThU.S.$ 114,442 as of June 30, 2018), of which ThU.S.$ 182,040 (ThU.S.$ 113,773 as of June 30, 2018) correspond to the payment of dividends of the Parent Company.

c)

Disclosure of Information on Reserves

Other reserves comprise reserves of exchange differences on translation, reserves of cash flow hedges and other reserves. Arauco does not have any restrictions associated with these reserves.

Reserves of exchange differences on translation

Reserves of exchange differences on translation correspond to exchange differences relating to the translation of the results and net assets of Arauco’s subsidiaries whose functional currency is other than Arauco’s presentation currency.

Reserves of cash flow hedges

The hedging reserve includes the cash flow hedge reserve and the costs of hedging reserve. The cash flow hedge reserve is used to recognise the effective portion of gains or losses on derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges.

Reserve of Actuarial Losses in Defined Benefit Plans

This corresponds to changes in the present value of the obligation for defined benefits resulting from experience adjustments (the effect of the differences between the previous actuarial assumptions and the events that occurred within the context of the plan) and the effects of the changes in the actuarial assumptions.

Other reserves

This mainly corresponds to the share of other comprehensive income of investments in associates and joint ventures.

Inventories recognized as cost of sales at June 30, 2019 were ThU.S.$1,880,586 (ThU.S.$1,820,460 at June 30, 2018).

In order to have the inventories recorded at net realizable value at June 30, 2019, a net decrease of inventories was recognized associated with a higher provision of obsolescence of ThU.S.$5,808 (ThU.S.$491 at June 30, 2018). As of June 30, 2019, the amount of obsolescence provision is ThU.S.$32,111 (ThU.S.$26,303 at December 31, 2018).

At June 30, 2019, there were inventory write-offs of ThU.S.$1,166 (ThU.S.$ 851 at June 30, 2018)

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.

NOTE 5. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank checking account balances, time deposits 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 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 27% in Chile, 30% in Argentina, 34% in Brazil, 25% in Uruguay and 21% in the United States (federal tax).

On December 22, 2017, a new law was enacted in the United States that amended several articles of the Income Tax Act. The most relevant amendments of this law include the reduction of the income tax rate, from 35% as to 21% by 2018 fiscal year. This amendment generated a benefit of ThU.S.$ 17,600 for Arauco’s subsidiaries in that country as of December 31, 2017, as a result of the reduction of the net deferred liabilities generated by the reduction of the federal income tax rate.

On December 29, 2017, Law No. 27,430 was enacted in the Official Gazette of Argentina, which amended several articles of the Income Tax Act. The most relevant amendments include the reduction of the federal income tax rate from 35% to 30% by 2018 and 2019 fiscal years, and 25% by 2020. This amendment generated a benefit of ThU.S$ 62,677 for Arauco’s subsidiaries in that country as of December 31, 2017, as a result of the reduction of the net deferred liabilities generated by the reduction of the federal income tax rate.

On March 25, 2019, the subsidiary Arauco Argentina S.A. chose to conduct the Tax Reappraisal set forth in Title X – Chapter 1 of Law No. 27,430. The option was exercised for all Properties, Plants and Equipments included in the category of amortizable movable assets, pursuant to the income tax law, which were adjusted to inflation using the coefficients published in that law for the purposes of calculating the aforementioned tax. The effect of the special tax in the presentation is to $122,835,595 argentinian pesos (equivalent to ThU.S.$2,892 as of June 30, 2019), which was paid in five instalments during year 2019. Additionally, the increase of the value of these tax assets, arising from this adjustment, generated a decrease of the liabilities for deferred taxes as of June 30, 2019 of to approximately ThU.S.$16,177. Both the loss for the special tax as well as the profits for the decrease of the deferred tax, are shown in the Income tax line.

Certain subsidiaries of Arauco mainly in Chile, Brazil and Uruguay, 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.$491,260 (ThU.S.$ 368,938 at December 31, 2018), which are mainly originated by operational and financial losses.

In addition, as of the closing date of these interim consolidated financial statements there are ThU.S.$144,787 (ThU.S.$ 183,162 at December 31, 2018) of non-recoverable tax losses from companies in Uruguay as joint operations based on the participation of Arauco and subsidiaries in USA, for which deferred tax assets have not been recognized. The estimated recovery period exceeds the expiry date of such tax losses.

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.$66,299 (ThU.S.$ 65,851 at December 31, 2018), as shown below:

Of the total of goodwill, ThU.S.$40,748 (ThU.S.$ 40,661 as of December 31, 2018) 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 ownership.

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 6.7% which reflects current market assessments for the wood products segment in North America.

The investment in the panel plant in Pien, Brazil generated a goodwill of ThU.S.$23,537 (ThU.S.$ 23,278 as of December 31, 2018).

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 7% real discount rate that reflects current evaluations for the panel segment in Brazil.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the carrying value of the goodwill of the plants did not exceed their recoverable value, and therefore there was no need to recognize impairment losses.

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, and objected certain income tax returns made by Arauco on April 16, 2001 and October 31, 2001, and furthermore, requested the reimbursement of the amounts returned in connection with tax losses, along with the amendment of the FUT (Tax Profits Fund) Registry balance. In consideration to the foregoing, the above mentioned tax resolutions ordered the restitution of the historical amount as of October 31, 2002 of $4,571,664,617 (equal to ThU.S.$6,731 as of June 30, 2019). 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 above mentioned tax resolutions No. 184 and 185 of 2005. The RAF was resolved on January 9, 2009 by the Chilean IRS, partially sustaining the Company’s request, granting a discount to the total amount of $1,209,399,164 (equal to ThU.S.$1,781 as of June 30, 2019), resulting in a total disputed amount of $3,362,265,453 (equal to ThU.S.$4,951 as of June 30, 2019) plus fines and interests. On February 19, 2010, the Court acknowledged receipt of the Company’s request.

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. On June 19, 2017, the Court issued the evidence production ruling, which resolution was notified via certified letter on July 23 of 2017. Arauco lodged a motion for reconsideration and a supplementary appeal, requesting the terms of the evidence production ruling be modified. On July 7, 2017, the Court upheld the motion for reconsideration. On September 20, 2017, the Court issued its first instance decision confirming the liquidations.

On October 12, 2017, Arauco challenged the decision through an appeal, requesting the Court of Appeals of Santiago to revoke the first instance decision and uphold Arauco’s claim instead. On June 29, 2018, the Court of Appeals of Santiago issued a ruling on appeal, confirming the first instance decision. On July 19, 2018, Arauco lodged a cassation appeal based on formal and substantial flaws before the Supreme Court. The case is pending.

On June 21, 2019, Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A. filed a claim before the Constitutional Court to declare the legal provision contemplated under section 53, paragraph 3 of the Tax Code unconstitutional and, as a consequence, inapplicable.

Currently, the case before the Supreme Court is suspended by order of the Constitutional Court, pending that the Constitutional Court decides on theadmissibility with respect to the requirement of inapplicability.

On July 30, 2019, the Constitutional Court declared admissible the appeal for inapplicability filed by Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A.

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 and therefore as of June 30, 2019, Arauco has not made any provision whatsoever in connection with this contingency.

2. 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.

On December 15, 2017, the Superintendence of the Environment issued Exempted Resolution No. 1,487, closing the punitive administrative proceeding, absolving the company with regards to one of the charges and convicting for other 10 charges, applying a fine of 7,777 UTA (equal to ThU.S.$ 6,698 as of June 30, 2019). On December 22, 2017, the Company submitted a motion for reconsideration regarding Exempted Resolution No. 1,487, before the SMA, requesting that we be absolved of all infringements, with the exception of the charge specified under number 7 (late submission of the water quality report regarding the Cruces river). On March 23, 2018, the reconsideration appeal lodged by the company was rejected. On April 5, 2018, a judicial claim was submitted before the Third Environmental Court. On November 12, 2018, the case was in a state of agreement status, and Minister Sibel Villalobos Volpi was designated to draft the resolution. The case is 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, and therefore as of June 30, 2019, Arauco has not made any provision whatsoever in connection with this contingency.

3. Through Exempted Resolution No. 1/File F-031-2016, dated September 15, 2016, the SMA formulated three charges against the company due to certain alleged breaches of certain Environmental Qualification Resolutions of the Constitución Plant, and an alleged contravention of Law No. 19,300 resulting from a purported circumvention of the Environmental Assessment System. The SMA classified the three charges as follows: 1 severe and 2 minor.

On October 17, 2016, the company filed a Compliance Program containing 7 actions and objectives. On January 3, 2017, the SMA served its resolution approving the compliance program submitted by the Company. If the compliance program is executed satisfactorily, the proceedings would conclude without the application of any sanctions.

The final report regarding the Compliance Program was submitted on October 2, 2017, and further supplemented on December 11, 2017, evidencing the complete and comprehensive performance of all the actions and measures envisaged in said program. The SMA must issue its opinion regarding the satisfactory performance of the Compliance Program.

Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A., Forestal Arauco S.A., Maderas Arauco S.A. y Servicios Logísticos Arauco S.A.

1. On August 13, 2018, Asociación Gremial de Dueños de Camiones de Constitución (ASODUCAM) filed a complaint seeking the performance of a contract and claiming compensation for damages against Forestal Arauco S.A., Servicios Logísticos Arauco S.A., Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A. and Maderas Arauco S.A. The complaint is based on alleged breaches of some agreements for the allocation, distribution and supply of cargo volumes for the years 2001 and 2005, initially executed by associates of ASODUCAM with Forestal Arauco S.A., and then, allegedly, with Servicios Logísticos Arauco S.A., in favor of the other two defendants, Celulosa Arauco and Constitución S.A. and Maderas Arauco S.A.

The complaint seeks to enforce the contract, plus $575,000,000 (equal to ThU.S.$ 847 as of June 30, 2019) in compensation for damages. In the alternative, it claims (a) $11,189,270,050 (equivalent to ThU.S.$ 16,475 as of June 30, 2019), for actual damages; (b) $ 11,189,270,050 monthly during the entire course of the trial, until the termination of the contract is declared in the final ruling, for loss of profits, and (c) $5,000,000,000 (equivalent to ThU.S.$ 7,362 as of June 30, 2019) for moral damages.

On August 28, 2018 the claim was served upon Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A., Forestal Arauco S.A. and Maderas Arauco S.A.; service is pending on Servicios Logísticos Arauco S.A. (Rol C-757-2018 with the Civil Court of Constitución).

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 and, therefore, as of June 30, 2019, Arauco has not made any provision whatsoever in connection with this contingency.

Forestal Arauco S.A.

1. 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 above mentioned 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. They base their claim in that Forestal Celco S.A., currently Forestal Arauco S.A., would be a supposed possessor and not owner of this estate.

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 ordered that this trial be joined with Case File C-54-2015.

On December 9, 2016, the Court summoned the parties for the issuance of the ruling. On February 24, 2017, the first instance final ruling was notified, which ruling dismissed the claim in its entirety.

3. On July 11, 2017, the company was notified of a civil claim for recovery in ordinary proceedings, filed by Mrs. Carmen Muñoz Domínguez on behalf of Forestal Ezrece S.A. The plaintiff argues that its client would be the rightful owner – as a result of an assignment and sale – of 87.5% of the hereditary rights in the rural real estate property called “Pino Huacho,” located in the boroughs of Los Alamos and of Cañete, province of Lebu, Eighth Region, for a surface area amounting to 5,144.22 hectares, which actions would be under the possession of Forestal Arauco S.A. The claimant has requested the court to order Forestal Arauco S.A. to be sentenced to restitute these actions and rights. Forestal Arauco S.A. answered the claim, requesting its total dismissal, with litigation costs, and further filing a counterclaim based on the ordinary prescription and, in lieu thereof, based on extraordinary prescription.

On July 30, 2019, the final ruling was issued down rejecting both the main and the reconventional lawsuits in all its parts. The service of process to the plaintiff is pending. (Case File C-109-2017 First Instance and Guarantee Court of Lebu).

On August 12, 2019, the plaintiff filed an appeal against the final ruling, pending its referral to the Court of Appeals.

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 and therefore, as of June 30, 2019, Arauco has not made any provision whatsoever in connection with this contingency.

4. Mrs. Estela Jaramillo, filed a lawsuit in a special indigenous procedure, before the First Civil Court of Osorno (Case C-2540-2018), requesting the absolute nullity of the contract of sale signed in 1999, by which Consorcio Forestal S.A. sold to Forestal Valdivia S.A., today Forestal Arauco S.A., 1,505.6 hectares under the name of Fundo San Nicolás Dos Lote Uno Norte. It also demands compensation for damages for the exploitation and use of indigenous lands against Forestal Arauco S.A.

On November 10, 2018, Forestal Arauco SA was notified of the lawsuit. On January 16, 2019, the Court dismissed the lawsuit regarding Consorcio Forestal S.A., who was not notified of the complaint.

On March 18, 2019, the answer and settlement hearing took place, and, during such hearing, the court decided to proceed to the production of evidence stage. Currently, the term for the production of evidence has expired, and the only pending act is the submission of a report by the Court regarding the debated issue by the National Institute of Indigenous Development (Corporación Nacional de Desarrollo Indígena) for an emission of a legal, technical, social and economic report about the matter.

On May 29, 2019, the lawsuit was answered and the counterclaim of the acquisitive prescription was filed.

Currently the discussion period is over, and is awaiting the Court to summon the parties to a conciliation hearing.

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 and therefore, as of June 30, 2019, Arauco has not made any provision whatsoever in connection with this contingency.

6. On August 2, 2019, the company was notified of a lawsuit for termination of contract and compensation for damages filed by “Sociedad Recuperadora de Fibra S.A.” before the First Court of Valdivia (Role C-2215-2019).

Arauco Argentina S.A.

Pursuant to law No. 25,080, the former Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock, Fishing and Foodstuffs, the enforcement agency referred to in the law approved, by Res. No. 952/2000, the forestry and industrial-forestry projects submitted by Arauco Argentina S.A. In the context of these projects, the Company afforested: 1) 4,777 hectares during 2000, in observance of its committed yearly plan; and 2) 23,012 hectares between 2000 and 2006 as a part of the multi-year afforestation plan. Likewise, a sawmill was built with installed capacity to produce 250,000 m3 of sawn timber per year.

On January 11, 2001, Arauco Argentina S.A. submitted an expansion for the approved industrial-forestry project. The expansion was approved via Res. No. 84/03 issued by the former Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock, Fishing and Foodstuffs. In accordance with the assumed obligations, the Company built a MDF board (panels) plant and afforested 8,089 hectares between 2001 and 2006.

Additionally, the Company has filed yearly forestry plans between years 2007 and 2017 for its local operations in the Provinces of Misiones and Buenos Aires.

On March 25, 2019, the Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock and Fishing approved the resolution No. 2019-55-APN-SECAGYP # MPYT, approving the annual forestry plan for 2007. For this reason, Arauco Argentina S.A. may compute the exemption in the income tax related to the forest appraisal on 7,836 hectares planted in that year as of this period.

In March 2005, Note No. 145/05 of the Undersecretary of Agriculture, Livestock and Afforestation suspended the benefit that exempted Arauco Argentina S.A. from paying export duties under Law No. 25,080. This measure is currently under discussion by the Company. On November 8, 2006, the V Chamber of the National Appeals Court for Adversarial Administrative and Federal Matters issued a ruling ordering Arauco Argentina S.A. to continue to enjoy an exemption from paying the exportation duties, in the same manner and scope it had prior to the suspension ordered by Note No. 145/05, if the clearance of merchandise is performed pursuant to the guarantee regime established in article 453, subsection a) of the Customs Code, for the exempted tax obligation. 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. The company maintains an assignment of funds equivalent to $997,408,288 Argentine Pesos (ThU.S.$ 23,463 as of June 30, 2019) for guaranteed export duties, which appears under not current provisions. Additionally, the Company filed a restitution claim for a total amount of US$6,555,207, plus interests accrued from the service of the claim, corresponding to export duties between March 2005 and March 2007, as a result of the application of Note 145/05 issued by the Undersecretary of Agriculture, Livestock and Afforestation. Both the underlying issue and the restitution claim have yet to be resolved.

On the other hand, in April 2016, the Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock and Fishing issued Resolution No.154 – E/2016, that requires that the holders of enterprises that have received the fiscal benefits envisaged by Law No. 25,080, establish collateral to cover a third of the duration of the project, with a minimum term of five years. During May of 2018, the Company modified the duly established collateral in accordance to the terms of said Resolution, for which reason the security was ultimately established at an amount of $384,317,563 Argentine Pesos (ThU.S.$9,501 as of June 30, 2019).

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.

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, at the estimated amount of R$164,159,000 (ThU.S.$42,836 as of June 30, 2019). 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. The CARF’s decision was issued on May 16, 2017, and took into consideration certain arguments presented by the Company regarding the premium, but preserving other charges. On September 27, 2018, Arauco do Brasil was notified of the CARF’s decision, representing the final amount of this case R$57,556,262 (ThU.S.$ 15,019 as of June 30, 2019) and interests and readjustments will be added to that value until the discussion is over. Arauco do Brasil S.A. filed an appeal for declaration embargoes, to elicit clarifications from the CARF regarding certain points of the decision. On January 25, 2019, the CARF ruled that there were no clarifications or omissions to be made and, consequently, granted a term for filing the last remedy within the administrative realm. This Special Remedy was submitted before the Upper Chamber of Fiscal Remedies of the CARF (CSRF) on February 11, 2019, reiterating the Company’s defense allegations regarding the matters and charges that remained in such process; we are currently expecting the decision on such Special Remedy.

Based on the last decision of the declaratory liens, the CARF submitted that the current value under discussion would amount to R$58,059,580.30 (ThU.S.$ 15,150 as of June 30, 2019), with basis as of January 31, 2019. Interests and adjustments must be added to the aforesaid amount as from January 31, 2019 and until the discussion concludes.

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. Otherwise, as the next step, the Company will discuss the Infringement Notice before the Brazilian Justice Courts.

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 and therefore, as of June 30, 2019, Arauco has not made any provision whatsoever in connection with this contingency.

At the closing date, there are no other contingencies in which the Companies act as obligor, that may significantly affect their financial, economic or operational conditions.

The decrease in Other Increases (Decreases) in Other provisions is due to legal claims from Arauco Industrias de Paineis which were classified as Other provisions in 2017 and were included as Litigations in December 2018

Provisions for litigations are related to labor and tax claims whose payment period is uncertain. Other provisions mainly include the recognition of a liability related to investments in associates and joint ventures accounted under the equity method with net asset deficiency at the end of the reporting period, and the constitution of provision for the lawsuit of export duties (see Arauco Argentina’s contingent liability set forth in this note).

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 1.8 million hectares as of June 30, 2019 out of which 1 million hectares are used for forestry planting, 437 thousand hectares are native forest, 199 thousand hectares are used for other purposes and 114 thousand hectares not yet planted.

For the period ended June 30, 2019, the production volume of logs totaled 10.5 million m3 (11.1 million m3 as of June 30, 2018).

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 Interim Consolidated Statements of Profit or Loss under the line item Other income per function, which as of June 30, 2019 amounted to ThU.S.$74,410 (ThU.S.$ 51,876 as of June 30, 2018). 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 June 30, 2019 amounted to ThU.S.$95,056 (ThU.S.$ 104,201 as of June 30, 2018).

 

 

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

 

 

The discount rates used are 6.4% in Chile, 7.9% Brazil, 10.5% in Argentina and 6.9% in Uruguay.

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

 

 

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

 

 

The average crop age by species and country is:

     -10        (387,524

The adjustment to fair value of biological assets is recorded in the Interim Consolidated Statements of Profit or Loss, under the line item Other Income or Other Expenses, depending on whether it corresponds to profits or losses.

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

The Company has contracted fire insurance policies for its forestry plantations, which in conjunction with the Company’s resources, allow risks to be minimized.

Detail of Biological Assets Pledged as Security

As of June 30, 2019, there are no forestry plantations pledged as security.

Detail of Biological Assets with Restricted Ownership

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

No significant government grants have been received.

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.    

These investments are reflected in the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as Properties, Plants and Equipment when they refer to disbursements in major works executed and are reflected in Expenses when they refer to improvements or management not directly associated with investment projects.

Detail information of disbursements related to the environment

As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018 Arauco has made and / or has committed the following disbursements by major environmental projects:

23.2 Fair Value Hierarchy of Financial Assets and Liabilities

The assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the interim consolidated statements of financial position as of June 30, 2019, have been measured based on the valuation methodologies provided in IFRS 13. 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, 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 and counterparties’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, U.S. dollars and Euros, Arauco calculates the current value of such flows by using discount curves: the UF zero coupon curve, Dollar zero coupon and the Euro 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.

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 and lease liabilities (the latter one with respect to 2018 figures), was 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 interim consolidated financial statements, and correspond to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

23.4 Derivative Instruments

Hedging instruments recorded as of June 30, 2019 are cash flow hedges. Arauco uses derivatives for hedging purposes, such as cross currency swaps, currency and commodity forwards, interest rate swaps, and options. Depending on the fair value of each instrument, the position could be either an asset or a liability, and they are listed in the Statements of Financial Position under Other Non-Current Financial Assets or Other Non-current Financial Liabilities, respectively. The effects for the period are presented under Equity as Other Comprehensive Income or the Statements of Comprehensive Income as Finance Income or Finance Costs, net of differences in exchange rate of the hedged items and the deferred tax.

A summary of the derivative financial instruments included in the interim statements of financial position as of the end of this period, is presented below:

Arauco needs to minimize the risk of the exchange rate, as it holds debt in other currencies different from U.S. dollars. 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 other currencies of the liabilities 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.

Through an effectiveness test, and pursuant to IFRS 9, we were able to validate that the aforementioned hedging instruments are highly effective within an acceptable range for Arauco, for the purposes of eliminating the uncertainty of the exchange rate in the commitments derived from the hedged object.

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

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

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

The allowance for doubtful accounts is presented as a deduction of trade and other receivables. The provision for doubtful accounts is established based on an analysis of the age of the portfolio and considering the insurance coverage on accounts receivable. Other conditions are assessed for example when there is objective evidence that Arauco will not receive payments under the original sale terms and when the customer is a party to a bankruptcy court agreement or cessation of payments, and is written-off when Arauco has exhausted all levels of recovery of the receivable in a reasonable time.

Arauco applies the simplified approach regarding the expected losses from commercial debtors, which allows for the use of an estimate of expected credit losses over the instrument’s lifespan for all commercial accounts receivable. In order to establish this estimate, the commercial debtors have been grouped in relation to the corresponding risks for sales conditions as well as for tranches, including clients that are up-to-date or in default.

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 Credit Line

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 Colombia S.A., Arauco Perú S.A., Arauco North America, Inc., Arauco Canada Limited, Celulosa Arauco y Constitución S.A., Maderas Arauco S.A., Arauco Florestal Arapoti, Arauco Forest Brasil S.A., Arauco do Brasil S.A., Arauco Industria de Paineis Ltda. and Arauco Nutrientes S.P.A., Arauco works with credit insurance company Euler Hermes World Agency (Aa3 rating, as per risk rating companies Moody’s and AA by S&P). The company grant a 90% coverage over the amount of each invoice, without deductibles, for registered clients and of 90% for non-registered clients (*).

(*) Non-registered clients are those whose lines are under ThU.S.$ 100 (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 ThU.S.$71,997, effective as of June 2019, 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.

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 apply to short and long-term debt, and will be for 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 Superintendence of Banks and Financial Institutions (Fitch Ratings Chile, Humphreys and Feller Rate).

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.

The following tables detail Arauco’s liquidity analysis for its financial liabilities as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The tables have been drawn up based on the contractual undiscounted cash outflows and their remaining contractual maturities:

Guarantees

As of the date of these interim consolidated financial statements, Arauco has financial assets of approximately MU.S.$52 that have been pledged to third parties (beneficiaries), as direct guarantee. If Arauco does not fulfill its obligations, the guarantors could execute the guarantees.

As of June 30, 2019, the total assets pledged as an indirect guarantee were MU.S.$590. In contrast to direct guarantees, indirect guarantees are given to secure obligations assumed by a third party.

On September 29, 2011, Arauco entered into a Security Agreement under which it granted a non-joint guarantee limited to 50% of the obligations of the Uruguayan companies (joint ventures) Celulosa y Energía Punta Pereira S.A. and Zona Franca Punta Pereira S.A., under the IDB Facility Agreement in the amount of up to MU.S.$454 and the Finnevera Guaranteed Facility Agreement in the amount of up to MU.S.$900. Both loan agreements were signed with the International Development Bank. Such guarantee is included in the table below, under indirect guarantees.

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 effect of this variable on equity and net result.

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 year after tax +/- 2.4% (equivalent to ThU.S.$ -/+ 8,792), and +/- 0.07% of equity (equivalent to ThU.S.$ -/+ 5,275).

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 +/- 15.48% (equivalent to ThU.S.-/+$56,834) and a change on the equity of +/- 0.76% (equivalent to ThU.S. -/+$56,834).

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 June 30, 2019, 10.6% 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 +/- 0.31% (equivalent to ThU.S.$-/+ 1,145) and +/- 0.01% (equivalent to ThU.S.$-/+ 687) 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 June 30, 2019, revenue due to pulp sales accounted for 45% 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 a variation of +/- 24.02% (equivalent to ThU.S.$-/+ 88,169) on the income for the year after tax and +/- 0.71% (equivalent to ThU.S.$52,901) on equity.

NOTE 24. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

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

 

   

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

 

   

Wood products: The range of products sold by this reportable 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.

 

   

Forestry: This reportable 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 reportable segment.

Pulp

The Pulp reportable 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 (50% property of Arauco) and they have a total production capacity of approximately 4 million tons per year. Pulp is sold in more than 33 countries, mainly in Asia and Europe.

NOTE 26. DISTRIBUTABLE NET PROFIT AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

Distributable net profit

As a general policy, the Board of Directors of Arauco agreed that the net profit 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 profit during the period such changes are made.

As a result of the foregoing, for purposes of determining the distributable net profit 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 profit 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 profit 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 profit 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 profit as of June 30, 2019 and 2018 in order to determine the provision of 40% of the distributable net profit for each period:
