Report on the review of interim financial information (ITR)

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

JBS S.A.

São Paulo - SP

 

Introduction

 

We have reviewed the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information of JBS S.A. (“the Company”) contained in the Quarterly Information Form - ITR for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, which comprises the statement of financial position as of June 30, 2024 and the related statement of income, comprehensive income for the three and six-month periods then ended, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month periods then ended, including the explanatory notes.

 

The Company’s management is responsible for the preparation of this individual and consolidated interim financial information in accordance with Technical Pronouncement CPC 21 (R1) – Demonstração Intermediária and the international standard IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB, as well as for the presentation of this information in accordance with standards issued by the Comissão de Valores Mobiliários, applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information Form - ITR. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

 

Scope of review

 

We conducted our review in accordance with the Brazilian and International standards on review engagements of interim financial information (NBC TR 2410 - Revisão de Informações Intermediárias Executada pelo Auditor da Entidade and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for the financial and accounting matters and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

 

Conclusion on the individual and consolidated interim financial information

 

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information included in the Quarterly Information Form – ITR referred to above has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 (R1) and IAS 34, issued by IASB, applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information Form - ITR, and presented in accordance with the standards issued by the Comissão de Valores Mobiliários – CVM.

Statements of Value Added

 

The interim financial information mentioned above includes Statements of Value Added, individual and consolidated, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, prepared under the responsibility of the Company’s management and presented as supplementary information for the purposes of IAS 34. These statements were submitted to review procedures together with the review of the Quarterly Information, with the objective of concluding whether they are reconciled with the interim financial information and accounting records, as applicable, and whether their form and content are in accordance with the criteria defined in Technical Pronouncement CPC 09 – Demonstração do Valor Adicionado. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that it has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria defined in this Pronouncement and consistent with the individual and consolidated interim financial information taken as a whole.

1 Background Information

 

JBS S.A (“JBS” or the “Company”), is a corporation with its headquarters office in Brazil, in the City of São Paulo, and is controlled by J&F Investimentos S.A. The Company has its shares publicly traded and listed on the “Novo Mercado” segment of the São Paulo Stock Exchange (B3 - Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias & Futuros) under the ticker symbol “JBSS3”. In addition, American Depository Receipts related to shares issued by JBS are also publicly traded in the United States of America under the symbol “JBSAY”. These individual and consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the ‘Company’) for the period ended June 30, 2024 and were authorized by the Board of Directors on August 13, 2024.

 

The financial statements presented below include, in addition to the individual operations of JBS in Brazil, the activities of its subsidiaries, in Brazil and abroad.

 

1.1 Main operating events that occurred during the period:

 

1.1.1 New Floods in Rio Grande do Sul: The poultry and swine units were not significantly impacted by the floods and are already operating normally. The impacts suffered were estimated at an amount of R$32,453, which was recorded in administrative expenses in the period’s result, which mainly refer to losses of goods, losses of live animals and warehouses, and operating costs, as a result of the flooding and logistical disruption in the region.

 

The Company provides support to the families and our employees affected by the tragedy by donating food, emergency items and by advancing the 13th salary to employees in Rio Grande do Sul. In addition, all of our units in Brazil have come together to collect and donate supplies to our employees and local communities, through the “Doing Good Does Good” program.

 

1.1.2 Early redemption of CRA: On May 13, 2024, the Company announced the early redemption settlements of CRA debts maturing in April 2028, December 2031, December 2036 and the extraordinary amortization of the series maturing in November 2027, totaling the amount of R$1.9 billion.

 

1.2 Seasonality

 

In the chicken business, globally, fluctuations are historically greater in the first half of the year, in which the sales volume of some of our special product lines suffers, variations resulting from some holidays, such as Christmas, New Year and Easter. For the beef industry in the United States, during the second and third quarters, the beef industry experiences seasonal demand for beef products that is highest in the summer and fall months in the Northern Hemisphere when weather patterns allow for more activity around the world. outdoors, however in Australia at the end of the fourth quarter a reduction in slaughter was observed due to the lower availability of cattle during the rainy season, which makes transporting the animals difficult. As for the pork sector in the United States and Australia, the greatest demand for pork occurs in the first and fourth quarters, when the availability of pigs combined with holidays increase demand.

 

1.3 Subsequent events

 

On 19 July 2024, following the announcement of an outbreak of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) on a poultry farm in the State of Rio Grande do Sul (RS), the Brazilian government announced that it had suspended poultry exports from that State to several countries. Seara adjusted its production to export from other states and is monitoring the economic effects on its operations as a result of this virus, and as of the date of approval of these financial statements, no significant impacts have been generated.

 

Distribution of interim dividends: On August 13, 2024, the Company approved the distribution of interim dividends referring to the profit reserves in the amount of R$4.44 billion, corresponding to R$2.00 per ordinary share, in accordance with the shareholder’s base at June 30, 2024. The interim dividends will be distributed on October 7, 2024.

 

2 Basis of preparation and presentation of financial statements

 

The financial statements were prepared in accordance with the standard CPC 21 (R1) - Interim Statements, approved by the Brazilian Accounting Standards Committee and equivalent to International Accounting Standard “IAS” 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Therefore, these Interim Condensed Financial Statements as of June 30, 2024 do not include all footnotes and information required to be considered “complete financial statements” due to redundancy in relation to what is presented in the individual and consolidated annual financial statements (December 31, 2023) prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil (BRGAAP) and with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), approved by the Board of Directors on August 13, 2024. The parent company’s individual financial statements are identified as “Company” and the consolidated financial statements are identified as “Consolidated”.

2.2 New standards, amendments and interpretations

 

a. Standards, amendments and interpretations recently issued and adopted by the Company

 

IAS 1/CPC 26 – Presentation of financial statements

 

The amendments issued in 2020 and 2023 aim to clarify the requirements for determining whether a liability is current or non-current and require new disclosures for non- currents liabilities that are subject to future covenants. The amendments apply to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. The Company is monitoring the amendments and has not identified any impacts as a result of this amendment.

 

IAS 7/CPC 26 and IFRS 7/CPC 40 – Supplier financing agreements (“Risk Withdrawn”)

 

Effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024 but not required for any interim period presented within the annual reporting period, the changes aim to increase transparency and comparability of financial information in supplier finance arrangements, which involve financing suppliers through a financial institution. Companies will be required to disclose the terms and conditions of transactions with suppliers, the effects of these arrangements on liabilities and cash flows, and on the exposure to liquidity risk related to these arrangements. The Group is monitoring the changes and will adjust the disclosure in the explanatory notes according to the standard’s requirements by the year-end’s financial statements.

 

b. New standards, amendments and interpretations that are not yet effective

 

IAS 21/CPC 02 – IAS 21/CPC 02 – Effect of changes in exchange rates and conversion of financial statements

 

Starting from January 1, 2025, this amendment establishes accounting requirements for situations where a functional currency cannot be converted into other currencies. In such cases, the Group must use the most recent observable exchange rate to translate the results and financial position of foreign operations into its presentation currency. The entity should also disclose this exchange rate, the date it was observed, and the reasons why the currency is non-exchangeable. The Group is monitoring the changes, and so far, no impacts have been identified.

Additional information: analysis of the variation in the effective rate:

 

According to IAS 12/CPC 32, the average effective tax rate is calculated by the ratio between tax expense (revenue) and accounting profit. However, it is important to note that this rate may be influenced by transactions that impact tax expense (revenue) but are not directly related to net profit for the period. Examples of such transactions include the effects of unrecognized deferred taxes, income tax and social contribution on the realization of the revaluation reserve, dividends paid abroad, and investment subsidies from previous years. In our understanding, this information should be considered when analyzing the effective tax rate. 

 
(3)The Company and its subsidiaries have subsidies granted by state governments, as presumed credit, in accordance with the regulations of each state. The amounts appropriated from this tax incentive as revenue in the result are excluded in the calculation of taxes on profit, when the requirements set forth in the current legislation are met. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Company and its subsidiaries recorded the amount of government subsidies in the amount of R$1.64 billion (R$3.53 billion on June 30, 2023), of which R$1.64 billion of presumed credit (R$1.44 billion on June 30, 2023) was excluded from its income tax and social contribution calculation basis.

 

This exclusion of this tax benefit from the income tax and social contribution calculation basis on net income reflected a tax gain in 2024 of R$557,654 million related to the presumed credit (R$490,709 million on June 30, 2023).

 

On June 12, 2023, when considering Repetitive Theme 1182, the STJ understood that the requirement of IRPJ and CSLL on amounts related to ICMS tax incentives, other than those granted in the form of presumed credits, is undue, provided that the requirements of article 30 of Law No. 12,973/14 are met, given that the Company recorded the profit reserve referred to in the legislation. Law No. 14,789/23 changed the investment subsidy regime for tax purposes and revoked article 30 of Law No. 12,973/14 and its effects are being complied with by the Company for the year 2024, except with regard to presumed ICMS credits, the taxation of which was ruled out by the unified understanding of the STJ Panels that deal with tax matters in the judgment of ERESP 1,517,492/PR.

 

(4)According to Law No. 12,973/14, the income from foreign subsidiaries must be taxed at the Brazilian statutory tax rate of 34%, and the income tax paid abroad by these subsidiaries may be used to compensate income taxes to be paid in Brazil. The results obtained from foreign subsidiaries are subject to taxation by the countries where they are based, according to applicable rates and legislation (profits taxed by-foreign jurisdictions included in the reconciliation of income tax and social contribution expense). The Group analyzes the results of each subsidiary for the application of its income tax legislation, in order to respect the treaties signed by Brazil and avoid double taxation.

 

(5)Refers to the donations made by the Company, as described in Note 25 – Expenses by nature.

Global Minimum Tax:

 

From 2024, Pillar II rules come into force in several countries, impacting multinationals operating in these jurisdictions.

 

The Company, as it is subject to such global Pillar II standards, decided to apply the exception for recognition and disclosure of information on deferred tax assets and liabilities, as well as estimated additional payment related to income tax due to measurement uncertainties and impacts.

 

We emphasize that the Company and its subsidiaries are monitoring potential impacts that this new rule could bring to the Group.

(1)Additions for each category includes transfer from construction in progress during the period.

 

For six month period ended June 30, 2024, the amount of capitalized interest added to construction in progress and included in additions in the Company was R$24,280 (R$69.551 at June 30, 2023) and R$87,368 (R$211.095 at June 30, 2023) in the Consolidated. The capitalization rate used at June 30, 2024 was 7.66% p.y in Brazil and 4.90% p.y in the United States of America (8.41% per year in Brazil and 4.40% per year in the United States of America on December 31, 2023 )

 

The Company tests the recoverability of its assets annually using the value in use concept through cash flow models. The test is formalized at the end of the fiscal year on December 31, and monitors indicators of impairment during the course of the fiscal year. In the semester ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized impairment of fixed assets in the amount of US$8.9 million (equivalent to R$49.5 million), related to the restructuring of the indirect subsidiary Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation (PPC).

 

12 Leases

 

The Company uses the optional exemption to not recognize a right of use asset and lease liability for short term (less than 12 months) and low value leases. The average discount rate used for the present value’s calculation of the lease provision of the identified assets and, consequently, for the monthly accrual of financial interest were 6.48% p.y. in the Company and 5.29% p.y. in the Consolidated, in accordance with the term of each lease agreement and the economic policy of each subsidiary’s domicile.

Fair value of assets and liabilities through profit or loss: The Company and its subsidiaries determine fair value measurements in accordance with the hierarchical levels that reflect the significance of the inputs used in the measurement, with the exception of those maturing at short term, equity instruments without an active market and contracts with discretionary characteristics that the fair value can not be measured reliably, according to the following levels:

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1, in which prices are quoted for similar assets and liabilities, either directly by obtaining prices in active markets or indirectly through valuation techniques that use data from active markets;

 

Level 3 - Inputs used for fair value calculations which are not derived from an active market. The Company and its subsidiaries do not have any financial instruments that utilize level 3 inputs.

Fair value of assets and liabilities carried at amortized cost: The fair value of the Notes under Rule 144-A and Regulation S, are estimated using the closing sale price of these securities informed by a financial newswire on June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, considering there is an active market for these financial instruments. The book value of the remaining fixed-rate loans approximates fair value since the interest rate market, the Company’s credit quality, and other market factors have not significantly changed since entering into the loans. The book value of variable-rate loans and financings approximates fair value given the interest rates adjust for changes in market conditions and the quality of the Company’s credit rating has not substantially changed. For all other financial assets and liabilities, book value approximates fair value due to the short duration of the instruments. The following details the estimated fair value of loans and financings:

c. Commodity price risk

 

The Company operates globally (the entire livestock protein chain and related business) and during the regular course of its operations is exposed to price fluctuations in feeder cattle, live cattle, lean hogs, corn, soybeans, and energy, especially in the North American, Australian and Brazilian markets. Commodity markets are characterized by volatility arising from external factors including climate, supply levels, transportation costs, agricultural policies and storage costs, among others. The Risk Management Department is responsible for mapping the exposures to commodity prices of the Company and proposing strategies to the Risk Management Committee, in order to mitigate such exposures.

c3. Hedge accounting of Seara Alimentos:

 

From the third quarter of 2021, the indirect subsidiary Seara Alimentos reviewed its hedge policies and started to apply hedge accounting in grain operations, aiming at bringing stability to the subsidiary’s results. The designation of these instruments is based on the guidelines outlined in the Financial and Commodity Risk Management Policy defined by the Risk Management Committee and approved by the Board of Directors.

 

Financial instruments designated for hedge accounting were classified as cash flow hedge. The effective amount of the instrument’s gain or loss is recognized under “Other comprehensive income (expense)” and the ineffective amount under “Financial income (expense), net”, and the accumulated gains and losses are reclassified to profit and loss or to the balance sheet when the object is recognized, adjusting the item in which the hedged object was recorded.

 

In these hedge relationships, the main sources of ineffectiveness are the effect of the counterparties and the Company’s own credit risk on the fair value of the forward foreign exchange contracts, which is not reflected in the change in the fair value of the hedged cash flows attributable to the change in exchange rates; and changes in the timing of the hedged transactions.

 

The derivative financial instruments designated at the June 30, 2024, as hedge accounting, according to the cash flow method, to protect the operating results in relation to the price of commodities are:

 

Hedge accounting - Derivative instruments  Risk factor  Quantity   Notional   Fair value 
Future contracts  Commodities   7,698    214,153    (3,706)

 

Seara Alimentos also designates derivatives to hedge the fair value of debt instruments with floating interest rates through swaps of fixed interest rates, measured in accordance with fair value hedge accounting.

 

c3.1. Hedge accounting:

 

Below is shown the effects on income for the period, on other comprehensive income and on the balance sheet of derivative financial instruments contracted for hedging exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates (cash flow and fair value hedges):

e. Risks linked to climate change and the sustainability strategy

 

In view the Company’s operations, there is inherent exposure to risks related to climate change. Certain Company assets, which are mainly biological assets that can be measured at fair value, may be impacted by climate change and are considered in the preparation process of these interim financial statements.

 

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, Management considered as main risk the data and assumptions highlighted below:

 

(i)possible impacts on the determination of fair value in biological assets due to the effects of climate change, such as temperature rise, scarcity of water resources, may impact some assumptions used in accounting estimates related to the Company’s biological assets, as follows:

 

losses of biological assets due to heat waves and droughts which occur with greater frequency and intensity;

 

reduction in the expected growth of our biological assets due to natural disasters, fires, pandemics or changes in rainfall patterns; and

 

interruption in the production chain due to adverse weather events, causing power outages, fuel shortages, disruption of transportation channels, among other things.

 

(ii)structural changes and their impacts on the business, such as:

 

regulatory and legal: regulation and legislation arising from Brazilian and/or international authorities that encourage the transition to a low-carbon economy and/or with greater biodiversity and that increase the risk of litigation and/or commercial restrictions related to the alleged contribution, even if indirect, for the intensification of climate change;

 

reputational: related to customers’ perceptions and the society in general regarding the positive or negative contribution of an organization to a low carbon economy.
