Post-employment health care and Pension plan

a)      Defined benefit pension and postretirement plans (Avon)

The Avon subsidiary have contributory and noncontributory defined benefit retirement plans for substantially all of its employees. The benefits of these plans are generally based on the employee's length of service and the average compensation near retirement, with certain plans have vesting requirements. The plans are funded based on legal requirements and cash flow.

The Avon subsidiary's largest defined benefit pension plan outside the United States (“US”) is in the United Kingdom (“UK”). The UK defined benefit pension plan was frozen for future accruals as of April 1st, 2013. The US defined benefit pension plan, the Avon Products, Inc. Personal Retirement Account Plan (the "PRA"), is closed to employees hired on or after January 1st, 2015. Qualified retirement benefits for US-based employees hired on or after January 1st, 2015 will be provided exclusively through Personal Savings Account Plan (the "PSA"), as described in note 28.3.

The most recent actuarial valuation of plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation was carried out on December 31, 2020. The present value of the defined benefit obligation and the respective cost of current services and cost of past services were measured at projected unit credit method.

The change in actuarial liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2020 is shown below:

The significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the actuarial liability are discount rate and rate of compensation increase. The details of the assumptions are as follows:


 

2020


 

Pension Plan

Post-retirement benefits


Discount rate

0.30% to 8.50%

3.95%


Rate of compensation increase

1.80% to 6.60%

The analysis of the quantitative sensitivity analysis of discount rates and increase in compensation, if the behavior of such rate increased or decreased by 0.5% and its respective effect on the balance (present value of the obligation, or “PVO”) calculated on actuarial liabilities, as of December 31, 2020 is shown below:

Rate of compensation increase

0.5% increase

(11,952)

The sensitivity analysis presented above have been determined based on a method that extrapolates the impact on the defined benefit obligation, as a result of reasonable changes in main assumptions occurring at the reporting date, keeping all other assumptions constant. The sensitivity analysis is based on a change in a significant assumption, keeping all other assumptions constant.

The sensitivity analysis presented may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the changes in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated. In addition, when presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected credit unit method at the reporting date, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognized in the statement of financial position.

The following are the expected payments of contributions to the defined benefit plan in future years:


2021

103,363


2022

89,038


2023

87,706


2024

86,157


2025

83,276


2026 to 2030

395,832

The average duration of the defined benefit plan obligation at the end of the reporting period is 9.13 years.

b)      Post-employment healthcare plan (Natura Cosméticos)

Post-employment healthcare plan as detailed in note 3.20.4. The number of active employees eligible for the healthcare plan after termination is closed to new inclusions. On December 31, 2020 and 2019, the obligation weighted average duration is around 19.8 and 20.8 years, respectively, and its actuarial calculation base is as follows:

Ø    1,064(2019: 1,175) active employees of the companies;

Ø    537 (2019: 477) retired and dependent on companies.

The actuarial liability was calculated, on December 31, 2020 and 2019, considering the following main assumptions:


 

2020

2019


Discount rate

7.02%

7.39%


Initial growth rate of medical cost

3.75%

7.17%


Inflation rate

Maintaining the initial level of growth in medical costs at a real rate of 3.75% and reducing the annual discount rate from 7.39% to 7.02% generated a loss of R$ 3,891.

The table below sets forth the Medical Inflation Rate and the Discount Rate sensitivity analysis, if such rates increased or decreased by 0.5% and 1%, and their respective effect on the balance (present value of the obligation, or “PVO”) calculated on the actuarial liabilities (maintaining the other assumptions):
