1. Operations

 

Zenvia Inc. (“Company” or “Zenvia”) was incorporated in November 2020, as a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability duly registered with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands. These consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as “the Group”). The Group is involved in implementation of a multi-channel communication of a cloud-based platform that enables organizations to integrate several communication capabilities (including short message service, or SMS, WhatsApp, Voice, WebChat and Facebook Messenger) into their software applications and with a combination of the Group Service as a Software (SaaS) portfolio providing clients with unified end-to-end customer experience SaaS platform to digitally interact with their end-consumers in a personalized way.

 

As of June 30, 2023, the Company has negative consolidated working capital in the amount of R$307,560 (current assets of R$393,953 and current liabilities of R$701,513), mainly arising from a reduction in the Company’s cash position as a result of payments made during the years related to business acquisitions, as described in item (b) to (d) below.

 

Zenvia’s Management focused in 2022 to increase gross profit and to take into place cost-cutting initiatives, such as the review of its corporate structure, which reduced the Company’s current workforce in 9% and is in line with the acceleration of the integration of acquisitions. These actions have been already presenting an improvement in cash generation, and management is committed to continue pursuing new operational efficiencies for the next 12 months. Also, management worked with alternatives to settle the Company’s short-term obligations by renegotiating certain earn-out payment terms (as detailed in note 13) and renegotiating current outstanding loans (as detailed in note 12). Therefore, as a result of the above referred initiatives, although the Company has experienced decreases in operating cash flow, and increases in both financing and investing cash flow, the Company believes that it will increase its cash from operations during 2023 while at the same time, meeting its debt obligations as they come due. Considering the Company’s short-term financial contractual obligations and commitments as of June 30, 2023, the Company will continue to fund its operations with its operating cash flow and incrementally to its operations, the Company expects a cash outlay of R$208,729 for the next 12 months mainly for its existing short-term indebtedness as it becomes due, including interest, and payments due from acquisitions. In order to satisfy such obligations, the Management expects that the continued expansion in profitability, as presented in the Company´s 2023 fiscal year guidance, will result in an increase in cash from operations. Therefore, the Company believes its working capital and projected cash flows from operations will be sufficient for the Company’s requirements for the next twelve months. In addition to generating cash flow from operations, management has been evaluating and negotiating funding alternatives that include debt and equity, amongst others, to ensure, if necessary, new sources of financing that will enable the Company to meet its obligations. As a result of these factors, management continues to have a reasonable expectation that the Group will be able to continue operations in the foreseeable future.

 

a.Business combination – Movidesk Ltda. (“Movidesk”)

 

On May 2, 2022, Zenvia Brazil acquired 98.04% of shares of Movidesk Ltda., referred to as “Movidesk”, and with regards to the remaining 1.96% share capital, Zenvia Brazil had options to purchase such share capital through the payments of the applicable exercise price by Zenvia Brazil. Movidesk is a SaaS company that focuses on customer service solutions to define workflows, provide integration with communication channels, and monitor tickets through dashboards and reports, offering a fully-fledged end-to-end support platform.

 

Under the terms of the Movidesk original acquisition agreement, the total consideration transferred and then expected to be transferred by Zenvia Brazil were as follows: (1) R$301,258 paid in cash in May 2022 and; (2) Movidesk former controlling shareholders, and key executives have received 315,820 Zenvia’s Class A common shares equivalent to an amount of R$15,740 at the time of closing; and (3) an earn-out structure based payment on the fulfillment of gross margin targets until the third quarter of 2023, which fair value is R$159,706 to be paid in December 2023; and (4) R$8,411 to be paid on the exercise price of purchase options. Earn-outs outcomes consider the achievement of certain milestones that variate from -50% to + 50%, reaching between R$94,441 and R$360,376 respectively.

Goodwill

246,250

 

The goodwill of R$246,250 comprises the skills and technical talent of the workforce and the value of future economic benefits arising from the synergies from the acquisition and in line with the strategy of the Company. At the time of the acquisition, future tax deductibility is probable as certain actions, necessary to integrate the businesses from a tax perspective, are intended by management and considered feasible from a legal perspective.

 

The fair value of Movidesk’s intangible assets (digital platform, customer portfolio and non-compete) has been measured by valuation techniques that are summarized below.

 

Assets acquired

Valuation technique

Intangible assets – Allocation of the customer portfolio and digital platform

The MPEEM methodology (Multi Period Excess Earnings Method) is mostly used to measure the value of primary assets or most important assets of a company. According to that method, in determining fair values, the cash flows attributable to all other assets are subtracted through a contributory asset charge (CAC). The MPEEM method assumes that the fair value of an intangible asset is the same as the present value of the cash flows attributable to that asset, less the contribution of other assets, both tangible and intangible ones.

 

On October 26, 2022, Zenvia Brazil reached an agreement with Movidesk former controlling shareholders to extend the remaining payments. The earn-out payment due to certain former shareholders, previously expected to total R$205,647, which could reach R$327,635, will now be paid in fixed and variable installments subject to accrued interest in line with Zenvia’s current bank financing costs in the range of 130% and 140% of CDI. Per the terms of the amended Movidesk acquisition agreement, (i) 12 fixed monthly installments of R$100 will be paid from January 2023 until December 2023, (ii) R$204,447 in total will be paid in 36 fixed monthly installments subject to accrued interest from January 2024 until December 2026, and (iii) an additional variable amount calculated in terms of certain gross margin targets achieved by the end of September 2023, currently expected to total R$24,047, will be paid in 6 monthly installments subject to accrued interest from January 2024 until June 2024.

 

b.Business combination – Sensedata Tecnologia Ltda (“SenseData”)

 

On November 1, 2021, Zenvia Brazil acquired all the shares of Sensedata Tecnologia Ltda., referred as “SenseData” which is a SaaS company that enables businesses to create communication actions and specific 360º customer journeys, supported by a customized proprietary scorecard called SenseScore.

 

Under the terms of the SenseData original acquisition agreement the total consideration transferred and then expected to be transferred were as follows: (i) R$30,112 in cash up front and; (ii) an earn-out cash structure based payment on the achievement of gross profit milestones until November 2023, which was estimated at R$35,018; (iii) an estimate of the range of outcomes considering the achievement of certain milestones varying from -50% to + 50% was between R$35,018 and R$100,349 respectively; and (iv) SenseData former controlling shareholders received 94,200 Zenvia’s Class A common shares, subject to lock-up provisions, equivalent to an amount corresponding to R$6,793 in May 17, 2022.

A payment which originally matured of R$23,751, due at the end of December 2022, was renegotiated as follows: (i) R$18,000 were paid in December 2022 and (ii) 12 monthly installments of R$479 will be paid throughout 2023, subject to accrued interests in line with Zenvia’s current bank financing costs in the range of 130% and 140% of CDI, (iv) an estimate of the range of outcomes considering the achievement of certain milestones varying from -50% to + 50% is R$21,577 and R$72,488 respectively. Also, the total of R$40,407 related to the achievements of gross profit targets, as defined in the original agreement, Zenvia agreed to pay a fixed amount of R$20,000 in December 2023, with the remaining amount to be paid in 24 installments, subject to accrued interests in line with Zenvia’s current bank financing costs in the range of 130% and 140% of CDI. SenseData´s founding partners will continue to manage the company as per the original agreement, until the end of 2023.

 

b.Business combination – Direct One (“D1”)

 

On July 31, 2021, Zenvia Brazil completed the purchase agreement for the acquisition of 100% of the share capital of One To One Engine Desenvolvimento e Licenciamento de Sistemas de Informática S.A. – Direct One, or “D1”, including its wholly owned subsidiary Smarkio Tecnologia Ltda. (“Smarkio”). D1 is a platform that connects different data sources to enable a single customer view layer, allowing the creation of multichannel communications, generation of variable documents, authenticated message delivery and contextualized conversational experiences.

 

At the acquisition date, and under the terms of the original D1 acquisition agreement, the fair value of consideration was R$716,428 and was comprised of: (1) (i) Zenvia Brazil contributed R$21,000 in cash into D1 on May 31, 2021, and (ii) on the closing date, July 31, 2021, Zenvia Brazil contributed further R$19,000 in cash into D1; (2) the Company paid to D1 shareholders R$318,646 in cash; (3) the Company issued 1,942,750 of Class A common shares of Zenvia to certain D1 shareholders, equivalent to R$132,812; and (4) the Company agreed to make earn-outs payments to certain D1 shareholders which, at the acquisition date, were estimated to be (i) R$56,892 to be paid in the second quarter of 2022; and (ii) R$168,078 to be paid in the second quarter of 2023.

On February 15, 2022, the Company decided to accelerate D1 integration which resulted in a new agreement, replacing the previously estimated amounts and timing of the earn-outs payments. The new agreement provided that the Company would pay to D1 former shareholders a total earn-out amounting to R$164,000. The amount of R$124,000 was paid in the first quarter of 2022 and R$40,000 would be paid on March 31, 2023.

 

On October 26, 2022, the Company reached a new agreement with D1 to extend the then remaining payments under the D1 acquisition. The last fixed installment due to certain former shareholders on March 31, 2023, of R$40,000, will now be paid, as follows: (i) R$7,794 paid in January 2023, (ii) R$3,864 paid in February 2023, (iii) R$4,720 paid in March 2023 and (iv) 24 monthly installments of R$1,288 between April 2023 and February 2025, subject to interests in line with Zenvia’s current bank financing costs in the range of 130% and 140% of CDI.

(c) This amount refers to the intangible and goodwill from Smarkio which was acquired by D1 in November 2020 and merged into that entity in November 2021. The intangible assets related to Smarkio´s acquisition refer to goodwill (R$21,726), platform (R$22,037), customer portfolio (R$3,491), non-compete (R$2,628) where management evaluated the expectation of a possible loss with the recoverability of the amount of the fine imposed in the case of competition and others;
(d)
Gross contractual amount of trade and other receivables amounted to R$16,998 of which R$482 are not expected to be collected.

 

Valuation techniques are summarized below:

 

Assets acquired

Valuation technique

Intangible assets – Allocation of the customer portfolio and digital platform

The MPEEM methodology (Multi Period Excess Earnings Method) is mostly used to measure the value of primary assets or most important assets of a company. According to that method, in determining fair values, the cash flows attributable to all other assets are subtracted through a contributory asset charge (CAC). The MPEEM method assumes that the fair value of an intangible asset is the same as the present value of the cash flows attributable to that asset, less the contribution of other assets, both tangible and intangible ones.

The goodwill of R$607,980 comprises the skills and technical talent of the workforce and the value of future economic benefits arising from the synergies from the acquisition and in line with the strategy of the Company. At the time of the acquisition, future tax deductibility is probable as certain actions necessary to integrate the businesses from a tax perspective, are intended by management and considered feasible from a legal perspective.

3. Preparation basis

 

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months periods ended June 30, 2023, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2022 (‘last annual financial statements’). They do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Standards. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group’s financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements.

 

The issuance of these consolidated financial statements was approved by the Executive Board of Directors on August 16, 2023.

 

a.Measurement basis

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared based on historical cost, except for certain financial instruments measured at fair value and contingent consideration for business combinations, as described in the following accounting practices. See item (d) below for information on the measurement of financial information of subsidiaries located in hyperinflationary economies.

 

b.Functional and presentation currency

 

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Brazilian Real (R$), which is the Company’s functional currency. All amounts have been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise indicated.

 

The functional currency of the subsidiary Rodati Motors Corporation is the US Dollar. The indirect subsidiaries of the Company have the following functional currencies: Rodati Motors Central de Informações de Veículos Automotores Ltda. has the local currency, Brazilian Real (BRL), as its functional currency; Rodati Services S.A. has the local currency, Argentine Peso (ARG), as its functional currency; and Rodati Servicios, S.A. de CV. has the local currency, Mexican Pesos (MEX), as its functional currency.

c.Foreign currency translation

 

For the consolidated Group companies in which the functional currency is different from the Brazilian Real, the interim financial statements are translated to Real as of the closing date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences are generally recognized in profit or loss and presented within finance costs.

 

d.Accounting and reporting in highly hyperinflationary economy

 

In July 2018, considering that the inflation accumulated in the past three years in Argentina was higher than 100%, the adoption of the accounting and reporting standard in the hyperinflationary economy became mandatory in relation to the subsidiary Rodati Services S.A., located in Argentina.

 

Non-monetary assets and liabilities, the equity and the statement of profit or loss of subsidiaries that operate in hyperinflationary economies are adjusted by the change in the general purchasing power of the currency, applying a general price index.

 

The financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy based on current cost approach are in terms of the current measurement unit at the balance sheet date and translated into Real at the closing exchange rate for the period. The impacts of changes in general purchasing power were reported as finance costs in the statements of profit or loss of the Company.

 

e.Use of estimates and judgments

 

In preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, management has made judgements and estimates that affect the application of the Group’s accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognized prospectively.

 

Judgments:

 

Information about judgments referring to the adoption of accounting policies which impact significantly the amounts recognized in the interim condensed financial statements are included in the following notes:

 

Note 1 – Identification of assets acquired, and liabilities assumed.

 

Note 10 - Intangible assets: determination of useful lives of intangible assets.

 

Uncertainties on assumptions and estimates:

 

Information on uncertainties as to assumptions and estimates that pose a high risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next fiscal year are included in the following notes:

 

Note 1 – business combination: assumptions on the determination of fair value of consideration transferred, assets acquired, and liabilities assumed. The identification of the intangible assets acquired in the business combinations is subject to significant judgements by management as to whether assets are separable from other assets. The measurement of those assets and liabilities assumed also involve judgements and estimates developed by management, based on facts and circumstances known at the time of the business combination that may be not confirmed in the future. Such judgements and estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis and adjusted prospectively as necessary.

 

Note 7 – Allowance for expected losses: main assumptions in the determination of loss rate.

 

Note 10 - Impairment test of intangible assets and goodwill: assumptions regarding projections of generation of future cash flows.

Note 15 - Provision for labor, tax and civil risks: main assumptions regarding the likelihood and magnitude of the cash outflows.

 

Note 20 – recognition of deferred tax assets: availability of future taxable profit against which deductible temporary differences and tax losses carried forward can be utilized.

 

(i)            Measurement of fair value

 

A series of Company’s accounting policies and disclosures requires the measurement of fair value, for financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.

 

Evaluation process includes the regular review of significant non-observable data and valuation adjustments. If third-party information, such as brokerage firms’ quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair value, then the evaluation process analyzes the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the IFRS requirements, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified.

 

When measuring the fair value of an asset or liability, the Company uses observable data as much as possible. Fair values are classified at different levels according to hierarchy based on information (inputs) used in valuation techniques, as follows:

   Level 1: Prices quoted (not adjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

   Level 2: Inputs, except for quoted prices, included in Level 1 which are observable for assets or liabilities, directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).

   Level 3: Inputs, for assets or liabilities, which are not based on observable market data (non-observable inputs).

The Company recognizes transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the end of the financial statements’ period in which changes occurred.

 

4. Significant Accounting Policies

 

There have been no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies as described in its annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and should be read in conjunction with these interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

5. New standards, amendments, and interpretations of standards

 

5.1. New currently effective requirement

 

The following amended standards are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The following amended standards and interpretations did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements:

 

     Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use (Amendments to IAS 16);

     Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendments to IAS 1);

     Annual improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020; and

     Amendment to IFRS 3, adding an explicit statement that an acquirer does not recognize contingent assets acquired in a business combination.

     Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and IRFS Practice Statement 2)

     Deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction (Amendments to IAS 12).

Contractual clauses

 

The Company has financing agreements in the amount of R$63,935 guaranteed by 20% of accounts receivable given as collateral and the balance of financial investment recorded as current assets, representing three times the amount of the first payment of principal plus interest.

 

D1 has entered into a financing agreement for the issuance of debentures guaranteed by: (i) the fiduciary assignment to creditor of receivables equivalent to two times the amount owed by D1 per month, which must go through an escrow account controlled by the creditor and, upon confirmation that the guarantees are in order, are subsequently released to the Company; and (ii) the fiduciary assignment to creditor of 10% of the Company's corporate stock.

 

13.       Long-Term Incentive Programs and Management remuneration

 

The Company offers to its executives and employees long-term incentive plans (“ILPs”) based on the issuance of restricted Class A common shares (“RSUs”) and cash-based payments equivalent to RSU. The Company recognizes as expense the fair value of RSUs, measured at the grant date, on a straight-line basis during the vesting provided by the respective plan, with a corresponding entry: to shareholders’ equity for plans exercisable in shares; and to liabilities for plans exercisable in cash. The accumulated expense recognized reflects the vesting period and the Company’s best estimate of the number of shares to be delivered. The expense of the plans is recognized in the statement of profit or loss in accordance with the function performed by the beneficiary.

 

Since its Initial Public Offering (IPO), the Company settled four Long-Term Incentive Programs, being two totally concluded and two still in force. In July 2021 in connection with the consummation of the initial public offering, the Company approved the Long-Term Incentive Program number two and three (“ILP 2” and “ILP3”) which entitled certain executives and employees to receive RSU and cash-based payments equivalent to RSU, establishing the terms, quantities, and conditions for the acquisition of rights related to the RSU. Beneficiaries of ILP 2 and 3 received 50% of the total granted RSU in cash in August 2021 and received RSU in January 2023 after a cliff vesting period of 24 months.

 

On May 4, 2022, the Executive Board of Directors approved a new Long-Term Incentive Program (“ILP 4”) that will grant a maximum of 240,000 RSUs (or cash-based payments equivalent to RSUs) to certain executives and employees of the Group subject to a vesting period of 28 months as of May 5, 2022 and, to certain executives and employees, the achievement of certain gross profit performance goals. The granting of RSU under ILP 4 partially occurred in the third quarter of 2022 and a provision was recorded as an expense in the consolidated statements of profit or loss.

 

On February 24, 2023, the Executive Board of Directors approved a new Long-Term Incentive Program (“ILP 5”) that will grant a maximum of 2,300,000 RSUs (or cash-based payments equivalent to RSUs) to certain executives and employees of the Group subject to a vesting period of 36 months as of January 1, 2023.

 

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had outstanding 2,564,132 “RSUs” that were authorized but not yet issued, related with future vesting conditions. The total compensation cost related to unvested RSUs was R$1,326 (R$2,164 as of December 31, 2022) recorded in the consolidated financial statements. An expense amounting to R$2,260 (R$2,036 for the six-months period ended June 30, 2022) was recorded in the consolidated statements of profit or loss position as relative to the vesting period of the restricted share units.

17.        Segment reporting

 

17.1.  Basis for segmentation

 

The segment reporting is based on information used by the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) represented by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

 

Until the middle of 2022, the Company had a single operating segment, considering the information used by CODM, as well as the financial information structure. After the acquisitions made in 2022, the CODM, began monitoring operations, making decisions on resource allocation, and evaluating performance based on two reportable operating segments, CPaaS and SaaS. CODM analyzes revenue and costs within their respective segments.

 

The two operating segments offer different products and services and are managed separately because they require different technology and marketing strategies.

17.5.  Seasonality of operations

 

Although the Company has not historically experienced significant seasonality with respect to revenues throughout the year, some moderate seasonality has been observed in the use of the platforms in cases such as education and brick-and-mortar retail stores. The Company has experienced revenue growth during the Carnival period in February, the back-to-school periods in July and August, Black Friday at the end of November and the Christmas season. The rapid growth in the business has offset this seasonal trend to date, but its impact on revenue may be more pronounced in future periods.

The Company did not present taxable income in prior periods, mainly due to the deductibility for tax purposes of goodwill, representing a temporary difference. However, based on projections of taxable income and the reversal of goodwill temporary difference, management believes that sufficient taxable income will be available in future periods to recover deferred tax assets.

 

21. Earnings per share

 

The calculation of basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing loss of the period by the weighted average number of common shares existing during the period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income for the period by weighted average number of common shares existing during the period plus weighted average number of common shares that would be issued upon conversion of all potentially diluting common shares into common shares.

 

For the six-month period June 30, 2023 and 2022, the number of shares used to calculate the diluted net loss per share of common stock attributable to common shareholders is the same as the number of shares used to calculate the basic net loss per share of common stock attributable to common shareholders for the period presented because potentially dilutive shares would have been antidilutive if included in the calculation. The tables below show data of income and shares used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share.

22.1.1. Level 3 measurement

 

The fair value of acquisitions is determined using unobservable inputs, therefore it is classified in the level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The main assumptions used in the measurement of the fair value of acquisitions on measurement are presented below.

 

Type

Valuation technique

 

Significant unobservable inputs

 

Inter-relationship between significant unobservable and fair value measurement

Liabilities from acquisition

Market Comparison: The valuation model considered the acquisition price of companies of similar size, sector.

 

-           Acquisitions multiples ranges depending on the gross profit business plan achievement 

 

The estimated fair value would increase (decrease) if:

-  The gross profit was higher (lower) in the period of the earn-out calculation. 

 

From the amount to be paid related to liabilities from acquisitions, the Company has a liability arising from its acquisitions that will be settled as certain milestones established in the contract are reached. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had a total of R$38,830 (R$66,202 on December 31, 2022) recorded under Liabilities from acquisition.

 

22.2.  Financial risk management

 

The main financial risks to which the Company and its subsidiaries are exposed when conducting their activities are:

 

(a)   Credit risk

It results from any difficulty in collecting the amounts of services provided to the customers. The Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to credit risk from their interest earning bank deposits.  The credit risk related to the provision of services is minimized by a strict control of the customer base and active delinquency management by means of clear policies regarding the concession of services. There is no concentration of transactions with customers and the default level is historically very low. In connection with credit risk relating to financial institutions, the Company and its subsidiaries seek to diversify such exposure among financial institutions.

Credit risk exposure

 

The book value of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum credit risk exposure on financial information date was:

Trade accounts receivable

Total

264,415

 

The Company determines its allowance for expected credit losses by applying a loss rate calculated on historical effective losses on sales.

 

Additionally, the Company considers that accounts receivable had a significant increase in credit risk and provides for:

 


All notes receivable past due for more than 150 days;

Notes subject to additional credit analysis presenting indicators of significant risks of default based on ongoing renegotiations, failure indicators or judicial recovery ongoing processes and customers with relevant evidence of cash deteriorating situation.

 

(b)      Market Risk

 

Interest rate and inflation risk: Interest rate risk arises from the portion of debt and interest earning bank deposits remunerated at CDI (Interbank Deposit Certificate) rate, which may adversely affect the financial income or expenses in the event an unfavorable change in interest and inflation rates takes place.

 

(c)      Operations with derivatives

 

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge against the risk of change in the foreign exchange rates. Therefore, they are not speculative. The derivative financial instruments designated in hedge operations are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which the derivative contract is executed and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value. Changes in the fair value of any of these derivative instruments are immediately recognized in the statement of profit or loss under “net financial cost”. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has an obligation of R$1,871 registered as derivative financial instruments.

 

(d)      Liquidity risk

 

The liquidity risk consists of the risk of the Company not having sufficient funds to settle its financial liabilities. The Company’s and its subsidiaries’ cash flow and liquidity control are closely monitored by Company’s Management, so as to ensure that cash operating generation and previous fund raising, as necessary, are sufficient to maintain the payment schedule, thus not generating liquidity risk for the Company and its subsidiaries.

(e)      Sensitivity analysis

 

The main risks linked to the Company's operations are linked to the variation of the Interbank Deposit Certificate (CDI) for financing and financial investments. The Company’s financial instruments are represented by cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, loans and financing, and are recorded at amortized cost, plus interests incurred.

 

Investments indexed to CDI are recorded at fair value, according to quotations published by the respective financial institutions, and the remainder refer mostly to bank deposit certificates. Therefore, the recorded amount of these securities does not differ from the market value.

 

The table below presents three scenarios for the risk of decreasing or increasing of the CDI indexes. The base scenario was the index as of June 30, 2023 of 12.50% p.a. Scenario II represents a 25% increase or decrease and scenario III a 50% increase or decrease. The Company has loans and borrowings linked to the CDI rate (long-term interest rate).
